Shout if you will, but that just won`t do
I, for one, would rather follow softer options
I`ll take the easy line, another sip of wine
And if I ignore the face you wore, it`s just a way of mine
To keep from flying colours.
Don`t lay your bait while world waits
Around to see me shoot you down - it`s all so second-rate.
When we can last for days on a loving night,
Or for hours at least on a warm whisper given
You always pick the best time to rise to the fight
To break the hard bargain that we`ve driven
Once again we`re flying colours.
I thought we had it out the night before
And settled old scores, but not the hard way
Was it a glass too much ? Or a smile too few ?
Did our friends all catch the needle match - did we want them to ?
In a fancy restaurant we were all aglow
Keeping cool by mutual permission
How did the conversation get to where we came to blows
We were set up in a red condition
And again we`re flying colours.
Shout - but you see it still won`t do
With my colours on I can be just as bad as you
Have I had a glass too much ? Did I give a smile too few ?
Did our friends all catch the needle match - did we want them to ?
We act our parts so well, like we wrote the play
All so predictable and we know it.
We`ll settle old scores now and settle the hard way
You may not even like to outgrow it !
