Lyrics

0:00Both sides and softly came the growl from both sides
0:06And if his whisper splits the mist
0:08Just think of what he's capable of with his kiss
0:13Nice try you cannot turn away but nice try
0:18Turned your legs to little building blocks
0:21And with his index finger flicks you on your socks
0:38I'll go high pitched he'll talk and make you voice sound high pitched
0:44Dread to think if he got you on your own
0:46And whispered in your ear in that baritone
0:51It's the same stone his heart was cut out of the same stone
0:57That they used to calve his jaw it's impossible not to feel inferior
1:03And he could catapult you back to your daddy
1:06Or into any hissing misery
1:09And he will tear you out the day after a triumph is as hollow
1:13As the day after a tragedy
1:16He'll extinguish any chance of escape
1:18When he slaps you on your arse or kisses your nape
1:22And he's leaving without saying 'Bye'
1:58And you would queue up to listen to him pissing
2:00And hang around to watch some poor girl bluff
2:04And then they chase him down the avenue
2:06Incessently pestering him to let him join the club
2:10He knows how to put a cork in the foot
2:12And just how to shut up the charming ones of us
2:16And they've seen him talking to your lady friend
2:23There's a dust track waiting for betrayal
2:30Where he'll teach you all the bits they missed
2:42Nice try you cannot turn away but nice try
2:49Nice try you cannot turn away but nice try
2:55Nice try you cannot turn away but nice try
3:01Nice try you cannot turn away but nice try
3:13You cannot turn away
Both sides  and softly came the growl from both sides
And if his whisper splits the mist
Just think of what he's capable of with his kiss
Nice try  you cannot turn away but nice try
Turned your legs to little building blocks
And with his index finger flicks you on your socks
I'll go high pitched  he'll talk and make you voice sound high pitched
Dread to think if he got you on your own
And whispered in your ear in that baritone
It's the same stone  his heart was cut out of the same stone
That they used to calve his jaw  it's impossible not to feel inferior
And he could catapult you back to your daddy
Or into any hissing misery
And he will tear you out the day after a triumph is as hollow
As the day after a tragedy
He'll extinguish any chance of escape
When he slaps you on your arse or kisses your nape
And he's leaving without saying 'Bye'
And you would queue up to listen to him pissing
And hang around to watch some poor girl bluff
And then they chase him down the avenue
Incessently pestering him to let him join the club
He knows how to put a cork in the foot
And just how to shut up the charming ones of us
And they've seen him talking to your lady friend
There's a dust track waiting for betrayal
Where he'll teach you all the bits they missed
Nice try  you cannot turn away but nice try
Nice try  you cannot turn away but nice try
Nice try  you cannot turn away but nice try
Nice try  you cannot turn away but nice try
You cannot turn away
