I could hang about and burn my fingers,
I've been hanging out here
Waiting for something to start.
You think I'm faultless to a 't',
My manner set impeccably
But underneath I am the same as you.
I could dance all night like I'm a soul boy,
But you know I'd rather drag myself
Across the dance floor.
I feel like dancing on my own
Where no one knows me, and where I can't
Cause offence just by the way I look.
And when I come to blows,
When I am numbering my foes,
Just hope that you are on my side, my dear.
But it's best to finish as it started
With my face head down
Just staring at the brown formica.
It's safer not to look around,
I can't hide my feelings from you now,
There's too much love to go around these days.
You say: I've got another face,
That's not a fault of mine these days,
I'm brutal, honest and afraid of you.
It's safer not to look around,
There's no hide my feelings from you now,
There's too much love to go around these days.

That's not a fault of mine these days,
