Lyrics

[00:19.39]One look sends it coursing through the veins
[00:22.03]Oh, how the feeling races
[00:23.85]Back up to their brains
[00:25.65]To form expressions on their stupid faces
[00:28.58]They don't want to say hello
[00:31.14]Like I want to say hello
[00:32.73]Well, my heartbeat's at its peak
[00:35.05]When you're coming up to speak
[00:37.01]And, oh, I'm so tense, never tenser
[00:40.09]Could all go a bit Frank Spencer
[00:42.38]And I'm talking gibberish
[00:44.43]Tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it
[00:47.33]Properly, oh, it's all getting on top of me
[00:50.92]And if it weren't this dark, you'd see how red my face has gone, yeah
[00:56.12]
[01:04.91]Everybody's trying to crack the jokes
[01:07.59]And that to make you smile
[01:09.31]Those that claim that they're not showing off
[01:12.54]Are drowning in denial
[01:13.87]But they're not half as bad as me
[01:16.16]Say anything and I'll agree
[01:18.22]'Cause when it comes to acting up
[01:20.32]I'm sure I could write the book
[01:22.19]And now that you're more than a part in the play
[01:26.89]It's slightly easier to think what to say
[01:32.20]You had us all standing on our heads
[01:36.54]Doing our best tricks, yeah
[01:50.16]Never again
[01:52.77]Well, never again, no
[01:54.09]Will there be another one
[01:56.13]Quite as desirable as you
[01:58.08]One look sends it coursing through the veins
[02:00.59]Oh, how the feeling races
[02:02.66]Back up to their brains
[02:04.13]To form expressions on their stupid faces
[02:07.63]
