Oui 3 - Break From The Old Routine lyrics

You've got to admit we hit a spot of bad form We use to be hot but now it's getting kinda of lukewarm Wouldn't you agree we need a change of scenery Instead of going through the motions like machinery I think it's time to change the oil in the motor Instead of living by the same old rota Good times yeah I know we had our quota Don't you think it's time we go some place we never go to I'm disinclined to sit and watch the dust settle Turn up the heat a little get like a proper copper kettle Grit your teeth and strike a blow against tedium We could be happy if we struck a happy medium I haven't a clue where spontaneity went But we are never impulsive to the same extent Once upon and way back when I use to be keen But now I need a break from the old routine What do you mean we need a break from the old routine? We need a break from the old routine We just ain't gelling anymore we are congealing The same four walls and the same old ceiling We got to find the knack to get the feeling back Take up the slack and maybe you and I can stay intact The two of us have got to get dynamic as a duo Or we'll be dealing with the Lost Love Bureau We gotta make a winning stand not like Custer We don't lack the will we just lack the lustre Once upon a time we took a shine But the shine is growing dimmer in the daily grind We may aspire to be climbing higher peaks But we never get higher trying tired techniques So look me in the eye and tell me straight Try to deny that we've begun to stagnate Because when I come to you I come clean We need a break from the old routine You know we've got the essential credentials But we never seem to manage our potential Why is this? We're both too timid in the final an*lysis We touch down but we can never convert We're pulling our punches but we're still getting hurt When love dies check out the post mortem The probable cause of d**h will be boredom We need to open up our box of tricks Giving love a chance to rise like a phoenix Sublime to ridiculous and then back Stacking the spice of life upon the spice rack Till joy flows unchecked And we can laugh at our troubles in retrospect Here and now and by the same token The old routine has to to be broken Tell me exactly what you mean when you say to me That what we really need Is a break from the old routine
