lyrics

I don’t need to have a secret,
But what the hell, it don’t concern you anyway
Should have known I’d never keep it
A little bit of drinking and my thoughts just slip away

So why can’t I just see
The trap in front of me
And get down on my knees
To save my skin
Oh, where to begin?

Cause now I’m headed to the gallows
I think we know that I don’t deserve this fate
Not as if it really matters
But the rent is in the mailbox, the parking tickets paid

So why can’t I just see
The trap in front of me
And get down on my knees
To save my skin
Oh, where to begin?

Cause I never learned to keep a secret
Shoulda known it’d come back to haunt me someday
Shoulda known that I would leak it
A little bit of thinking and my thoughts just slip away

So why can’t I just see
The trap in front of me
And get down on my knees
To save my skin
Oh, where to begin?

I'm a sucker for a bass-driven band and The Black Black are certainly that !! The cool artwork and twisted lyrics add to their dark sound (which is to me is very British) and I just can't stop playing it. So glad I got the 'psychedelic brown' version when I could and they lovingly sent it to me well packed all the way to the UK from NYC. More, more, MORE !! clivemonster
