Lyrics
Did you really believe
Expressing doubt or skepticism about a previous belief or expectation.
It would be
Suggesting that the reality is contrary to what was initially thought.
A different voice it
Highlighting the presence of a different perspective or opinion.
Inevitably
Indicating an unavoidable or certain outcome.
Will all come down to one of two choices
Describing a situation that boils down to only two possible choices.
So come on now we've got our sides to pick
Encouraging a decision, emphasizing the need to choose sides.
There's the shining ocean
Referring to a positive and promising aspect or opportunity.
And there's old nick
Referring to a negative or challenging aspect or force.
But i don't like hellfire
Expressing a dislike for negative consequences such as hellfire.
And you get seasick
Connecting discomfort with choosing sides, using seasickness as a metaphor.
And oh here it comes, here it comes, here it comes now darling
Anticipating an approaching event or change, possibly with excitement.
Oh here it comes, here it comes, here it comes free falling
Reinforcing the imminent arrival of a significant change or challenge.
Oh you and me, you and me and that old glass ceiling
Referring to a barrier that limits progress or achievement.
And the radio the saviours and all
Mentioning various elements, including the radio and "saviours," in the context of challenges or influences.
There're cracks in the road

There's a pact

Implies a symbolic closure or conclusion.

And the drunks
Highlighting the presence of individuals singing random lines of Bacharach, possibly signifying chaos or unpredictability.
Sing some stray lines of bacharach
Suggesting a realization that it is too late to rectify or balance a situation.
Its too late now to even out the score
Observing the act of consuming more without addressing the underlying issues.
As you drain the glass and raise your hand for more
Reflecting on the inevitability of facing consequences.
So i'll take cover while you just take the floor
Choosing to protect oneself while allowing others to take responsibility.
And oh here it comes, here it comes, here it comes now darling
Repeating the anticipation of a forthcoming event or change.
Oh here it comes, here it comes, here it comes free falling

Baby is it drama is it comedy

You know my character witness just went down for perjury
Noting a negative turn in a character witness situation, suggesting a loss of trust or credibility.
Any-one else got any good ideas

Or will we just lay low until the black smoke clears
Pondering whether to remain passive until the situation improves.
And oh here it comes, here it comes, here it comes now darling
Repeating the anticipation of a forthcoming event or change.
Oh here it comes, here it comes, here it comes free falling
