Should Have Done What My Mum Always Told Me To

(album: Ivy And The Big Apples - 1996)

I know you and you know me
I've got no personality
Take away all your sympathy
Do what you like to do to me

N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-no

I can see the way it's gonna go
Only you and me will ever know
Busting out of here is gonna be
Almost an impossibility

See the way that you're looking at me today
Can I swim? Can I get away?
I can see, I can hear, I can taste the air
Wanna run but I'm under intensive care

N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-n-no-no

I don't ever wanna say it
Let me go and then I'll play it
Don't you ever wanna see it?
Looking at me with an eye
I can see trouble brewing
Don't you tell me what you're doing
I don't ever wanna do it
Looking at you with an eye

N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-n-no-no
N-no-no-no-no

Look at all the things you've done to me
I can see you're where you want to be
Put me in this sick serenity
I can tell there's not much time for me
Feeling sick, yeah I'm slowing down
Gotta get to a beat gotta come around
See the door open up, see you coming through
Should have done what my mum always told
