 Want an e-mail when there's something new? Join the e-mail news list today! songs & lyrics Outside (Unreleased)  Outside was written after working for a while with the homeless in London. Seeing mentally ill people, abused children, and people with addiction problems treated like animals by people more fortunate than themselves was a real window into the contempt society has for its weak. The song is about rage, and is great fun to play in a cafe when no one is listening to you. The song is an early echo of Forget. Final version of lyrics: Monday, January 1st, 1990 Outside (Unreleased) I used to walk around these streets I used to walk all over town I used to wonder what it would be like If we changed it all around A million lightbulbs turn to ice A million beds to stone A million families to bad memories As darkness becomes home See all the people walk on by And look at me and stare Forgetting our differences begin and end With having a home somewhere See all the others walk on by And pretend that they just can't see They dress in and paint on their masks each day So scared of themselves that they're scared of me And they say: Have some small change It'll make me feel better Although I believe you don't matter at all Because deep down inside Lies all the world's lies Like I don't have to be here And if I do it's my fault. So if we changed it all around So that those with became those without Would you still claim to know what's real? And how do you think you would feel? When they say: Have some small change It'll make me feel better Although I believe you don't matter at all Because deep down inside Lies all the world's lies Like I don't have to be here And if I do it's my fault.
