about

Nothing ordinary about the love Tommy Violet is experiencing here. The way she moves when she's a star on stage is the same way he sees her always moving. "Ordinary" is Tommy preaching to his lover that there won't be anything "ordinary" about what they can be. One of his more seductive records, Tommy's confident writing shines.

lyrics

Ordinary pleasures
That’s not what you want
It’s not
What you’re for

Oh
Did you know?
I was standing there
At the back of your show

You had everyone dancing
Lights on the stage were so entrancing
And you know who you are
You still move the same in the dark

Here we are again
Should we come to an end?
I know that it’s hard
But we’re falling apart

Ordinary pleasures
That’s not what you want
It’s not
What you need

Oh
Did you see?
The pictures on the wall
They’re all you and me

Ordinary pleasures
That’s not what you want
It’s not
What you say

Oh
Did you pray?
That I would read your mind
And might want to stay?
