lyrics

Lyrics:

The first bite is never enough
So you cram it in as much as you can
But the meal is over much too soon
And before you know it you've become immune

Oh magical new situations
Dull into day to day
And the colours fade to grey
And you're one more ant in the factory of (life)

(Life)'s a plate that's always full
Oh please don't leave me empty
Precious things are mine to hold
Oh please don't leave me empty
Precious things that I have learned in life
Don't leave me empty
Keep them beautiful

One life is never enough
So you cram it in as much as you can
But the dream is over much too soon
And before you know it you become immune

Oh thank you for the inspiration
Funny how it came to be that it was yours to give
And mine to gain
Oh treasures made from pain (made from pain) Oh

Cos I'm shouting loud no understanding
La la la la la
Loving hard no love receiving
La la la la la
Shouting loud no understanding
La la la la la
Ooooh

Magical new situations
funny how they seem to fade before our eyes
But who's to blame?
Oh this is how it was meant to be

Life's a plate that's always full
Oh please don't leave me empty
Precious things are mine to hold
So please don't leave me empty
Keep them beautiful
Oh keep them beautiful
