The morning sun opens up my eyes
What I see is the same world I know you're seeing
My dreams are real until I realise
Realising's a slow fade from thought to being
The waking world is full of cynics' sighs
Cynicism's a box I don't want to be in
I'll stay in bed until I stabilize
I try to write this song
To move my life along
I know what I dream of
I'll save my life for love
Hidden meanings don't need to hide
When I hide from the world you're the one who'll find me
They don't need screening from the world outside
If the truth's overdue I know you'll remind me
If the truth police are sniffing out a lie
I've done nothing in life I can't put behind me
I'll use my life as an alibi
Meaning is something I got from you
Whenever I lost the plot you knew
What is it I haven't got
When I've got you
Meaning is something I got from you
Whenever I lost the plot you knew
What is it I haven't got
When I've got you
All my life I felt so uptight
Now it's all right.

I Teenage Fanclub sono un gruppo musicale scozzese formatosi a Glasgow nel 1983. Considerati uno dei pilastri del movimento indie pop degli anni '90, il loro sound è caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, arrangiamenti raffinati e influenze provenienti dal power pop, dal jangle pop e dalla musica psichedelica. La formazione originale comprendeva Norman Blake (chitarra, voce), Raymond McGinley (basso, voce), Francis Reader (batteria) e Gerard Love (voce, chitarra). Nel corso degli anni la band ha attraversato diverse fasi compositive, mantenendo sempre un'elevata qualità musicale. Tra i loro album più apprezzati figurano "Bandwagonesque" (1991), "Thirteen" (1993) e "Grand Prix" (2005). I Teenage Fanclub hanno collaborato con artisti come The Pastels, Belle and Sebastian e Super Furry Animals.
