Golden Blunders

(album: Time Takes Time - 1992)

Golden blunders come in pairs,
They're very unaware
What they know is what they've seen.
Education wasn't fun,
But now that school is done,
Higher learning's just begun, hey, hey, hey.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time,
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time,
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

Disappointment breeds contempt,
It makes you feel inept,
Never thought you'd feel alone at home.
His and hers forever more,
Throw your freedom out the door
Before you find out what it's for, hey, hey, hey.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time,
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time,
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

Four weeks seemed like a long time then,
But nine months is longer now.
And even if you never speak again,
You've already made the wedding vow.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

Honeymoons will never start,
Bonds will blow apart
Just as fast as they were made.
Men and women, please, beware,
Don't pretend you care.
Nothing lasts when nothing's there, ah-hah-hah.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're gonna mess up things you though you would never.

You're gonna watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're gonna suffer the guilt forever.
