Lyrics to Platinum, performed twice live by The Fall Of Science but not recorded
Your capricious schemes shall fail
You’re pushing mediocrity with a lust I’ve never seen
I know I might be wrong but I’ll never be one
To be, a captive to trends
Or know the fascination in another’s moves
I know it’s never looked so good
To be ignorant and capitalist
And if I’ve learnt something in all my years
It’s that passion is worth its weight in platinum
Transparency is everything to me
I’m crystal clear and you can see my love
My blood, my heart
My metaphors are better for it
I know it’s never looked so good
To be ignorant and capitalist
And sitting here I remember when you told me,
In so many words, it’s imperative to show what you stand for
The roads we travel down, these journeys are so cold,
Without a friend to share the weight
Without a friend to bear the load
