Going Nowhere Somehow Lyrics


Take a look at where you're going
Do you know where you come from?
Seems you've spent your life just searching
In the length of just one songBut you know you're going nowhere
Like so many of your age
This has gone on far too long now
To be dismissed as another phaseWell you can turn the clock back
Pretend that you're still young
Unaware
But everything that you lack
Weighs upon your mind
When she's not thereI don't want to break your heart
I don't want to let you down
It's just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehowNow your friends are disappearing
They're getting scarcer day by day
You've only got yourself to blame for that

You always wanted things that way'Cause it's easier being lonely
Than being let down again and again
When you're standing on the edge of things
It means you never have to pretendWell you can turn the clock back
And hope that you're still young
Unaware
But everything that you lack
Weighs upon your mind
When she's not thereI don't want to break your heart
I don't want to let you down
It's just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehowWell you can turn the clock back
Pretend that you're still young
Unaware
But everything that you lack
Weighs upon your mind
When she's not thereI don't want to break your heart
I don't want to let you down
It's just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
White Town is a techno-pop act (actually only one man, Jyoti Mishra, born in Rourkela, India, on July 30, 1966; Mishra has lived in the United Kingdom since the age of three), often regarded as a one-hit wonder for its 1997 song "Your Woman", which sampled a 1930s song called "My Woman" by Al Bowlly, which was featured in the Dennis Potter drama Pennies From Heaven. This single was often known not by its name, but by the title of the EP it originally appeared on - ">Abort, Retry, Fail?_".

Mishra, a straight edger and ex-Marxist, often incorporates political concerns in his songs veiled in terms of personal relationships (as in his only hit). After a troubled working relationship with EMI Records, Mishra was dropped from the label in 1997 and since then has gone back to working with indie labels like Parasol Records. His last album, 2000's Peek & Poke, received moderately enthusiastic reviews but sold pitifully compared to his major label work.

In 2005 White Town contributed the song "The Pnac Cabal" to the charity album "Voyces United for UNHCR" (Voyces United for UNHCR (disc 1)).

In October 2006 White Town released a new album, Don't Mention The War on Mishra's own label, Bzangy Records.
