lyrics

there's a sort of perfect sun hanging in the sky
it's a pale sort of light and a delicate sort of day
and everything is balanced perfectly so
between being just so and not being that way

and sure there's trouble next door
and sure there's trouble in my heart

but a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
and everyone believes that they're perfectly right
on this delicate day, in this pale sort of light,
it's an almost perfect world but not quite.

and there's a sort of perfect justice to trouble like this:
a little bit of worry in an ocean of calm
just enough to make me shiver
just enough to make me wonder what's wrong

and sure there's trouble next door
keep looking and you'll find what you were looking for

but a little bit of justice is a dangerous thing:
no one lost any sleep over it last night.
on this delicate day, in this pale sort of light,
it's an almost perfect world but not quite.

wat iemand zaait, zal hij ook oogsten

so let's not move too fast, and let's not look too hard
and let's really think twice before putting up a fight
on this delicate day, in this pale sort of light,
it's an almost perfect world, if not quite.
