The 6th track from Progress. Take That have described it as “the schizophrenic, depressed version of an upbeat pop song”. It was released as a single for Red Nose Day with a music video where they hold auditions for a Take That tribute band: “Fake That”.
[Verse 1]
I get the feeling that we are being lied to
There's a surge in my psychosis every turn of the screw
And I'm half awake in paisley print
I can see the world clearly but I have to squint
I am a supersonic specimen
A minor miracle of medicine
I'm at the mercy of unwanted emotions
Where nothing matters
Beneath my thoughts
Beneath my thoughts is where it happens
Super heavy elements, embrace me
Super heavy elements, replace me
Was it a positive experiment
To be indefinitely decadent
[Pre-Chorus]
And they checked my pulse and it gave them hope
That there was no truth to what was wrote
Give me half as much but twice as fast or today
Might slip away
[Chorus]
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
Feeling happy now
[Verse 2]
I'm at the back of the club
And so afraid to speak
'Cause I'm not like these people
And these people are not like me
Super heavy elements, upgrade me
Supersonic elements, amaze me
Your opinion is irrelevant
I was built to be magnificent
[Pre-Chorus]
And they checked my pulse and it gave them hope
That there was no truth to what was wrote
Give me half as much but twice as fast or today
Might slip away
[Chorus]
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
Feeling happy now
[Bridge]
I haven't scratched the surface of my desire
In the world of dreams, I'm a frequent flyer
Super heavy elements, embrace me
Super heavy elements
[Chorus]
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
I'm feeling immortal
We'll live forever now
We'll live forever now
