F
When the world is too much with me
C Bb
Please leave, just go away
F
Before I lose my mind completely
C Bb
Please leave, just go now
F
In the sidestreet something's moving
C Bb
Look around, look around
F
All around you
C Bb
Walls are tumbling down
F G
Stop staring at the ground
F G Am
I can practically see your face
And another revolutionary falls from grace
Hear the thunder in your brain
Not enough
much rain
F
When the light of life has gone
C Bb
No change for the meter
Then the king of spivs will come
Selling blood by the litre
When nothing's sacred
When the demon's knocking on your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor

Or is it just another shower?
Now the rain has come
The rain has come
I can already hear your tune

When the world and his wife
Are on my back again
Not enough pleasure
Too much pain
When the world is too much with me
Please leave, just go away
Before I lose my mind completely
Please leave, just go now
In the sidestreet something's moving
Look around, look around
All around you
Walls are tumbling down
Stop staring at the ground
I can practically see your face
And another revolutionary falls from grace
Hear the thunder in your brain
Not enough sunshine
Too much rain
When the light of life has gone
No change for the meter
Then the king of spivs will come
Selling blood by the litre
When nothing's sacred anymore
When the demon's knocking on your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor
Not too many hours from this hour
So long?
The storm comes
Or is it just another shower?
Picking up the pieces
Half alive in a nine 'til five
Vacant eyes
Is it any wonder?
Primal scream at the TV screen
Close your eyes
Now the world is too much with me
Please leave, just go away
Before I lose my mind completely
Just leave, please go now
Now nothing's sacred anymore
When the demon's breaking down your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor
Not too many hours from this hour
So long?
Now the storm has come
Or is it just another shower?
Alternative Lyrics from Marks songbook (Dearest dead days):
I can already hear your tune

Not enough pleasure
Too much pain

Hear the thunder in your brain
Not enough sunshine
Too much rain
When the light of life has gone
No change for the meter
Then the king of spiv's will come
Selling blood by the litre
When nothing's sacred any more
When the demon's knocking on your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor
Not too many hours from this hour
So long?
The storm comes

I can already hear your tune
Calling me across the room
When the world and his wife
Are on my back again
Not enough pleasure
Too much pain
When the world is too much with me
Please leave, just go away
Before I lose my mind completely
Please leave, just go now
In the sidestreet something's moving
Look around, look around
All around you
Walls are tumbling down
Stop staring at the ground
I can practically see your face
And another revolutionary falls from grace
Hear the thunder in your brain
Not enough sunshine
Too much rain
When the light of life has gone
No change for the meter
Then the king of spivs will come
Selling blood by the litre
When nothing's sacred anymore
When the demon's knocking on your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor
Not too many hours from this hour
So long?
The storm comes
Or is it just another shower?
Picking up the pieces
Half alive in a nine 'til five
Vacant eyes
Is it any wonder?
Primal scream at the TV screen
Close your eyes
Now the world is too much with me
Please leave, just go away
Before I lose my mind completely
Just leave, please go now
Now nothing's sacred anymore
When the demon's breaking down your door
You'll still be staring down at the floor
