I think everybody's after me
They want to know just what I feel
Pushing wires under my nose
Everybody's standing on my toes
Telling the world what I should know
You said you'd seen life from near the floor
You opened every closing door
Thank you for always being there
All the nights in which we shared
And we know we're always there
If it ever gets you down
You know I'll always be around
Coz too much just ain't enough
We, we who are your property
Whose every single move you see
We don't mind your prying eyes
We don't mind all your lies
Or the headlines that you write
They want to know just what I feel
Pushing wires under my nose
Everybody's standing on my toes
Telling the world what I should know
You said you'd seen life from near the floor
You opened every closing door
Thank you for always being there
All the nights in which we shared
And we know we're always there
If it ever gets you down
You know I'll always be around
Coz too much just ain't enough
We, we who are your property
Whose every single move you see
We don't mind your prying eyes
We don't mind all your lies
Or the headlines that you write

This song was written by the band as a thankyou to Paul Weller for helping them get to where they are now. They also take a swipe at the press and some old collegues of Simon from when he was a journalist. I really love this song.
@sOCS479 Here we are, 18 years later (that's 18 years after your comment, not since I first heard this track and felt compelled to find out what the meaning behind it is!) - I've finally got round to actually looking it up! Thanks @sOCS479 <br /> ✌????
