Paperfaces

About Paperfaces

"Paperfaces" is the fourth and final single from UK rock band Feeder's 1999 album Yesterday Went Too Soon. The version released on the single is a re-recording from that of the album version. Upon release, the single was given little promotion by UK radio judging by the C-list placing on BBC Radio 1, as the previous two singles were played a lot more before release, and due to this the single only charted in the UK at #41. Frontman Grant Nicholas said the band were invited to perform the track on TFI Friday, but decided to U-turn on the band and instead gave the slot to the Stereophonics, meaning they appeared twice on the show and Feeder missed out on widespread promotion for this single. However, the single did go top 40 in Scotland reaching No.37 and ever since the release of The Singles with an extra DVD of the band's videos, the song has seen a new lease of life. "Paperfaces" is about the idea of somebody ending a relationship, and then realising afters that the person they were with was somebody who meant a lot to them. more »

Staring at Paper faces, 
Expressions like empty pages, 
Day after day
Waiting for the lights to change now,
Reaching for a cloud to come down,
And cover me
Can't shut you out

Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Waiting for the world to change, 
Dissolution takes a bit off, 
And swallows me

Looking for a way to get out, 
Wishing that the rush would come down
And smother me
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out

Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
If you can learn to be yourself, 
Then that's okay
If you can find a reason now, 
Don't drift away

Walking down streets to nowhere, 
Stepping on feet with no cares,
Losing my self
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out

Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out

Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
