Intro

Verse

 Every pupil in the classroom

 Will answer this song if you ask them

 Every mouth shout the message out as one

 Every girl weeps like a willow

 Every boy cries into his pillow

 Every tear disappears in the morning sun

 You don't need an indie song

 To figure out what's going on

Chorus

Tell me that I'm normal

 And tell me that I'm sane

 And tell me that you feel this too

 The dreams that we have had

 Are gonna prove that we're not mad

 To you...

 Every nose is a vacuum cleaner

 In the loved-up London arena

 Every eye shines a dollar sign for me

 Every tongue will wag if you want it

 Every lung has a shadow on it

 Every heart comes apart at the seams

 You don't need a mastermind

 To read between the long white lines

Tell me that I'm normal

 And tell me that I'm sane

 And tell me that you feel this too

 The dreams that we have had

 Are gonna prove that we're not mad

 To you...

 Well we all need reassurance

 As we play life's game of endurance

 Like a nice cup of tea or a cigarette

 But don't lean too long on the crutches

 Or you'll fall straight into the clutches

 Of those who see free expression as a threat

 You don't need a law degree

 To set your mind and spirit free so tell me...

What the hell is normal?

 And who the hell is sane?

 And why the hell care anyway?

 The dreams that we have had

 Are gonna prove that we're all mad

 And that's okay...
