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