I been looking out of my window Late at night See couples on the street Distracting me while I’m trying to write Lovers trying out a slow waltz I remember that game Makes me sick to the stomach ‘cos nothing tastes the same
Nothing tastes the same I don’t know what’s changed But nothing tastes the same No nothing tastes the same
I been hearing all about you People think I want to know The phone is off I lock the door Pretend there’s no one home But downstairs they’re playing love songs And drinking champagne That stuff sticks in my throat ‘cos nothing tastes the same
Nothing tastes the same I don’t know what’s changed Nothing tastes the same Nothing tastes the same
I’m drunk before I drink, I’m full before I eat I can’t stay awake by day and night times I can’t sleep And all the sweets are bitter and all the bitters sweet
I been thinking on fallen emperors And once mighty empires Tables laid for feasting Everything they desired But it all comes to nothing I know about that pain When all that’s left is hollow You don’t care about tomorrow ‘cos nothing tastes the same
Nothing tastes the same I don’t know what’s changed Nothing tastes the same Nothing tastes the same Nothing tastes the same It’s a crying shame That nothing tastes the same Nothing tastes the same
