Smile In Denial

Driving through the night in La Hoya,
Just me and the boy I brought into the world.
Neither of us speak any Spanish,
In parallel anguish to you and the girl.
Living the illusion in the Philippines
With nothing but confusion in common, it seems.
But for Spain and Manila, the world is still going round.

So let’s act like nothing is wrong.
Keep swinging along like Olivia Newton-John Travolta.
Act like nothing was shared, like nobody cares,
And thank God we didn’t lie at the altar.
Like fights and cocaine, we can make it a habit,
And hope that the world just buys our bullshit.
So we got a family and we didn’t deserve it?
Hey nobody’s perfect, just turn up the bullshit and smile.
Turn up the bullshit and smile. Smile in denial.

Maybe we could go for a coffee?
Or, then again, maybe that’s a stupid idea?
Mustn’t keep the family waiting.
Priority dictating I’ll see you next year.
Starting up a family just to toss it away,
I wonder if we’ll suffer come Judgement day?
But out on the island, the sun’s smiling down.

So let’s act like nothing is wrong.
Keep swinging along like Olivia Newton-John Travolta.
Act like nothing was shared, like nobody cares,
And thank God we didn’t lie at the altar.
Like fights and cocaine, we can make it a habit,
And hope that the world just buys our bullshit.
So we got a family and we didn’t deserve it?
Hey nobody’s perfect, just turn up the bullshit and smile.
Turn up the bullshit and smile. Smile in denial.
