Living on the Outside - Jim Capaldi

Creepin down the alley, searchin through the trash

You used to own a chalet, before the market crashed

Now your clothes are torn and dirty, and your face is looking mean

Valentino and Versace, it was such an ugly scene

When you were living on the inside

The inside where you thought you had to be But i’m living on the outside

The outside it don’t bother me It’s a terrible obsession, trying to make it to the top

A man in your profession can’t afford to be a flop

Gotta get yourself connected, get the mobile phone

You don’t want to be rejected, you don’t want to be alone

So you’re living on the inside

The inside and all that money brings

But i’m living on the outside

The outside nobody pulls my strings

It’s like the inquisition at the hottest club in town

There’s so much competition tryin' to do each other down

No one’s saying nothing and madonna looks so cold

When you’re to be natural it’s the hardest pose to hold

So you’re living on the inside

The inside where everybody wants to be But i’m living on the outside

Outside where the air is free

They say the ice is melting and the earth is warming up All the animals are dying don’t know where it’s gonna stop

You just look at your computer there’s no need to be upset

You got virtual reality you’re on the internet

And you’re living on the inside

The inside where you think you gotta be But i’m living on the outside

The outside take a walk with me Take a walk with me Living on the outside take a walk with me Living on the outside take a walk with me Living on the outside take a walk with me Living on the outsideLiving on the outside
