Hyperrealism
Nadine Shah, Ben Hillier
I can't get my head around it
Just when I had thought I'd found it
I can't get a way back
Faces, ghosts, familiar places
His redeeming saving graces
I can't get a way back
A hyper realised version of all the shit
A romanticised version of all of it
For strangers to see
A pathetic ending to just submit
Now a dramatised version of all of it
For strangers to see
You've loaned it out
You have loaned it all out
Seaside town folk in glass houses
Hiding from the ones beside us
I can't get a way back
You're taking vows and second prizes
Taking out all the surprises
I can't get a way back
You've loaned it out
You have loaned it all out
You've loaned it out
You have loaned it all out
I can't get a way back
