Newton Faulkner - Uncomfortably Slow

From Newton Faulkners album Handbuilt by robots.


Travelling again
I know exactly how it's gonna end
The routine day dream starts as I get off
I'm holding up the queue
Because my ticket won't go through
I know it should be simple but it's not

So don't take my photograph
Cos I don't wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
It feels like standing still but I know
I'm just moving uncomfortably slow

Something's gotta change
I know i'm lucky in a lot of ways
So why do I want more
Than what I have?
Brace myself to hear the lies
I wonder if they know that I
Don't get the jokes but I just
Need to laugh

So don't take my photograph
Cos I don't wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
It feels like standing still but I know
I'm just moving uncomfortably slow

I'm just moving uncomfortably
Slow down
There's infinite detail
When you break it down
It all becomes simple how
It all becomes clearer now

So don't take my photograph
Cos I don't wanna know how it looks
To feel like this
As cars and people pass
It feels like standing still but I know
I'm just moving sub-consciously
One day I guess i'll be
The man that you think you see
I'm just moving uncomfortably
Slow.

I think it is because this is the American version. The other is the european. They often make different versions for europe and USA

this song is one of my favourites, he just caputers everything thing i think and feel and what i cant say out loud. i love the line that says 'i wonder if they know that i dont get the jokes but i just need to laugh' it reminds me of me in so many ways. aand even though it feels like im not moving forward i know one day it can all be ok again. x

Why must Americans make their own shitty version of everything? The UK one is way better. This one doesn't even sound like it's mixed well, it's like a crappy cover. The only decent thing is the bassline, but it kind of takes away from the rest
