0:13Shout
0:15If you will
0:16But that just won't do
0:20I for one would rather follow softer options
0:26I'll take the easy line another sip of wine
0:33And if I ignore the face you wore it's just
0:37A way of mine
0:41To keep from flying colors
1:04Don't lay your bait
1:06While the whole world waits
1:10Around to see me shoot you down
1:13It's all so second rate
1:16When we can last for days on a loving night
1:23Or for hours at least on a warm whisper given
1:30You always pick the best time to rise to the fight
1:36To break the hard bargain that we've driven
1:42Once again we're flying colors
1:52I
1:53Thought we had it out the night before
1:58And settled old scores
2:01But not the hard way
2:04Was it a glass too much
2:07Or a smile too few
2:10Did our friends all catch the needle match
2:14Did we want them to
2:18In a fancy restaurant we were all aglow
2:24Keeping cool by mutual permission
2:31How did the conversation get
2:33To where we came to blows
2:37We were set up in a red condition
2:43And again we're flying colors
3:31Shout but you see it still won't do
3:37With my colors on I can be just as bad
3:42As you
3:43Have I had a glass too much
3:46Did I give a smile too few
3:50Did our friends all catch the needle match
3:53Did we want them to
3:57We act our parts so well like we wrote the play
4:04All so predictable and we know it
4:11We'll settle old scores now
4:13Settle the hard way
4:17You may not even live to outgrow it
4:22Once again we're flying colors flying colors
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 colors Don't lay your bait While the whole 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 colors 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 colors Shout but you see it still won't do With my colors 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 Settle the hard way You may not even live to outgrow it Once again we're flying colors flying colors
