The Other Side

The other side is cramped The other side is lonely The other side is a big fat lie The other side is phony Everything is scripted Access is restricted I've seen all the cables and the wires I got a really bad reception When I went over to the other side I turned my front room to the dark side of the moon Floating in a vacuum night after night I found it very hard to concentrate Thinking what I was missing on the other side I wanna be where they make decisions I wanna be where they fill the box I ended up with a bunch of coked-up public school boys All trying very hard to grow dreadlocks So let me tell you There is nothing on the other side There is nothing on the other side I've seen the listings There is nothing on the other side No, not tonight Or any other night The other side is claustrophobic The other side is tacky show-business And all you really need to know is this That I've been playing for the other side No, it can't be denied Where everything was scripted And access was restricted And I saw all the cables and the wires I was the other side of the world I was the other side of the door I have been the other side of the bed I have been the other side of the wall I got a really bad reception When I went over to the other side --- The Other Side - Jarvis Cocker and Chilly Gonzales
