Whatever It Takes

Soft Cell


I'm having a mid-life crisis 
Behaving in strange ways 
Wandering around the supermarket 
In a daze 
I try to fill my head 
With positive thoughts 
Try to get a rush 
From the merchandise I bought 

Out of my head 
Out of my head 
Where do we go 
When the feelings are dead 

Whatever it takes 
To get me through 
Whatever it takes 
To stop me missing you 
Whatever it takes 
To get me through 
Whatever it takes 
To stop me missing you 

I tried meditation 
Crystal therapy 
Colonic irrigation 
Didn't agree with me 
Road rage and new age 
Just tricks of the mind 
The onset of middle age 
Is all that I find 

Out of my head 
Out of my head 
Where do we go 
When the feelings are dead 

Whatever it takes 
To get me through 
Whatever it takes 
To stop me missing you 
Whatever it takes 
To get me through 
Whatever it takes 
To stop me missing you 

Whatever whatever whatever... 
Whatever whatever whatever 

Whatever it takes 
To get me through 
Whatever it takes 
To stop me missing you 
Whatever it takes 
To get me through 
Whatever it takes 
To stop me missing you 
Whatever it takes 
To stop me missing you 
Whatever it takes 
When only you will do 

I'm having a mid life crisis 
Help me 
I'm having a mid life crisis 
Help me 
Pour me a drink 
Chop me a line 
Roll me a joint
