Biography:
TCTC were an eclectic alternative rock band with various post-rock, electronic and heavy prog elements in their sound, that, taken as a whole, ranged from dark, brooding space rock and lysergic ballads to skewed cyberpunk with the intensity of post-hardcore. They were named after an obscure UK parliamentary amendment to the 1870 Elementary Education Bill, allowing parents to withdraw their children from religious education and preventing indoctrination in state schools.

Em F#
I'm not quite how I should be
Em/G F#
Been finding tricks too hard
I'm thinking something must be broken
'Cause it's wasn't like this before
Now everyone is ugly
And everyone is stoned
Small things about you excite me
But then I'd hate to spoil the tone
Em
Chorus:
Em Hm
All my little somethings just ran out of luck
Am C
Secret dates with strangers, dirty words and fighting talk
I'm so scared it's killed me time and time again
Am Bm
I can't live with compromise, so maybe we could talk as friends?
Am F#
If at first you don't succeed, try again for me
Today is going to be fine
Tomorrow will be fine too
I asked for things to better me
Even though they silenced my soul
I can taste is just for a second
And then it disappears
The flowers look like glitter
But then so do you my dear
Chorus.
C H Am Em H H Am Am
It's in the way that you look
It's in the books that won't read
It comes and goes like a friend
It's with me right til the end
It's in the memories I've lost
It's concentrating too much
It's breaking down of relations
And it's the beat of the clock
It's not being able to be explain
Or get your feelings across
It's in the pain that won't leave you
It's coming straight back for us
It's in a new lease of life
And a search that ends well
It's in finding that change
It's being happy again
I'm not quite how I should be
