Many other times I turned and looked behind me Couldn't keep away from looking back, seeing you was following me Tried to catch some long forgotten dream Trying to help the friends who were dragging on beside me Gimme, gimme, gimme some good old fashioned melody Turn the thing around and change the style of yesterday Mustn't try it to do it the same and get it all wrong Put my feet behind the brand new source of energy A new fashion, a new style Will keep things ticking for a while And an inch is better than a mile in the right direction A new feeling, a new smile Will keep things ticking for a while And an inch is better than a mile in the right direction Gimme, gimme, gimme some good old fashioned melody Give it to the man who seems to do it much better than me Don't hold on for the sake of it and do it all wrong You see in the mirror what you see in the song A new fashion, a new style Will keep things ticking for a while And an inch is better than a mile in the right direction A new feeling, a new smile Will keep things ticking for a while And an inch is better than a mile in the right direction A new fashion, a new style Will keep things ticking for a while And an inch is better than a mile in the right direction A new feeling, a new smile Will keep things ticking for a while And an inch is better than a mile in the right direction A new feeling, a new smile Will keep things ticking for a while And an inch is better than a mile in the right direction A new feeling, a new smile Will keep things ticking for a while And an inch is better than a mile in the right direction ....
