Everyone Is Getting It But Me

By John Taylor (1995)
On album Feelings Are Good and Other Lies (2023)

Feelings Are Good and Other Lies
I'm not surprised
Excited I get with every step of my way
Everywhere I look it seems like there's someone
Getting it all

Reminds me of the time when everyone was getting it but me
Photograph here
Some picture there
Some sleazy video on TV
It's like being at school when I was the last guy, alright

When I was very sure when everyone was getting it but me
Reminds me of the time when everyone was getting it but me

It's a looking glass war
Everyone just wants more
It's one hell of a fall, off the wall
I know it's hard on you all

Is it a question of low self-esteem
Or keeping up with the Joneses
Is it a reason for learning to read
Even my mother embracing my father
Even again, even again
Even a future, maybe it's over
Maybe it's over

Reminds me of the time
Reminds me of the time
Reminds me of the time
Reminds me of the time
When everyone was getting it but me
When everyone was getting it but me
But me
But me
