Me and My Big Ideas

[Chorus 1: Roland Orzabal]

Me and my big ideas

Won't wash away your tears

No one else seems to mind

That I'm not that kind

[Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal]

Go get a volunteer

We'll pay him well, my dear

He will see inside your mind

Because he is that kind

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]

It's a southern kind of heat

The shadows crack and start to creep

Conversation drags its feet

I wish we'd both been more discreet

Like light that is caught between night and day

You're stuck between me and my

[Chorus 3: Oleta Adams]

Me and my big ideas

Won't wash away your tears

So many strings to your bow

Why not let one go?

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal & Oleta Adams]

Well they love you when you're weak

Bet they hate to see this winning streak

It's that thing we call control

There's a deep frustration in their soul

Black thoughts that get stuck between someone's ears

Like me and my big ideas

[Chorus 4: Roland Orzabal]

So many strings to your bow

Why not let one go?

[Bridge: Roland Orzabal & Oleta Adams, Oleta Adams and Roland Orzabal]

In a way this dream is over

Blown away our four leaf clover

There's no reason why

There's just me and my

[Chorus 1: Roland Orzabal]

Me and my big ideas

Won't wash away your tears

No one else seems to mind

That I'm not that kind

[Outro: Oleta Adams]

Blown away

Blown away
