Intro
A
[Verse]
A
I try not to stand too close to myself
A
I try not to listen to the things I say
A
They say there's no such thing as self-abuse
A
But you wonder how I can be trusted
A
If I'm finely tuned or well adjusted
A
Oh, pity about you
A
Oh, pity about me
A
Mostly pity about her
A
Every time she comes inside
A
You – had to run
A
You had to run
A
You wish that crush would go away
[Chorus]
A
(Enter Bass & Bongos)
You're not the only one !
A
Squinting at broad daylight
A
Drumming up a conversation
A
Parson's brass is pealing / appealing
A
Drumming up a congregation
G
Hands reaching for a glass of water
G
Dry socks and razor rash
A
Your shoes under my bed
A
Dandruff, doona, cigarette ash
G
I've tried to play it open-handed
G
I've tried to make a fist of this
A
Even when the questions are candid
A
My arrows miss
G
I've heard about your fragile ego
G
Your shield, your sword
A
What am I expected to do ?
A
Shout Man Overboard ?
A
Come around when I'm asleep
A
Roll around, try to wake me
A
That's all right, you've got to go now
A
Words overtake me
G
Your pubic hairs are on my pillow
G
Your stubble rings the sink
A
Your words under my sing
A
Your table manners stink
[Bridge]
D
I paddle in the things I love
A
You wallow in a swamp of trivia
A
In a vase with insincere I love you's
A
Next door's camellias
G
I'm sick and tired of this position
A
Hatched underneath your arm
A
Crotch under stress
A
You're little and it's come
G
I'm bored – staring at the ceiling
G A
While you point out my faults
A
I've watched the wallpaper pealing
A
From slamming doors
G
You talk about penis envy
G
Your friends applaud
G A
What am I expected to do ?
A
Shout Man Overboard ?
A
Come across to other girls
A
Look around and start a rumour
A
Jealous wife scenes raise a smile a parties
G
Like anal humour
G A
Are you addicted to attention ?
A
Do you do it for effect ?
A
You're wet, out of control, misunderstood and hen-pecked
[Outro]
