Humiliation - Kate Miller-Heidke, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Benjamin Northey

I wanna be loved by strangers, hug my heroes

But I’m seeing shadows, where I go they go

Mirrored by the moment, painted back against the wall

Well, where’s the loophole?

Where’s the exit?

My legs are dragging on sticky carpet

Drink it down in one hit, stare along the skirting board

Humiliation

Humiliation, humiliation

Tell me where to hide all this frustration

Cause this is not the time or place

Humiliation

Caught stark naked, an awkward vagrant

It’s cold, cold comfort, l’esprit d’escalier

I don’t know how to do it, I think I’m not quite right

Mirror, mirror in my head

The valley of strangers, I can’t see through it

I don’t know how you do it, you do it every time

Humiliation, humiliation

Tell me where to hide all this frustration

Cause this is not the time or place

Humiliation

Tell me where to hide all this frustration

Cause this is not the time or place

This is not the time or place
