it s an act

Declan Mckenna

So you call it a show, it s an act
Not like you to be so matter-of-fact
You call it a dream, when it s hell
It s not like you to flunk the show and tell

So don t make it up as you go along
It s always you to sing the happy song
So breathe it in and see what s real
It s not like you to mention how you feel

So you can call it a show, it s an act
It s not like you to be so matter-of-fact
You call it a dream when it s hell
It s not like me to flunk the show and tell

You can call me up, when I m down
And say it s not like you to wear a friendly frown
So run amok and truth will tell
The truth would like to see you cold dead and buried and
The truth is, I miss you like hell

So you call it a show, it s an act
Not like you to be so matter-of-fact
You call it a dream, it s hell
It s not like you to flunk the show and tell
