Chilly Gonzales, Jarvis Cocker - The Other Side Lyrics

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
