Pass The Buck Lyrics
It's beautiful, I'm a fool
Tried to save you from the rainy days
Looking back down the track
I'm the one who carried all your weight
Yes you lie, all the time
And I dont believe you
Dodging blame, catching planes
Ride my tail to freedom
You dont know what it is you got
You dont know where you're going
You dont know what is right from wrong
All that you do is lie so
Just get out of my life
You're passing the buck again
Just hold up your hand and
Take it on the chin
Just get out you're lying again
Take the blame
Just get out of my life
And be a man; if you can
Look at you, what ya do?
My ears are burning from the tales you spin
Cracks me up, push your luck
Telling people all the lies you made
I'm the one who tried
Time and time again to please you
Forgetting me in misery
What did you ever give me back?
Tried to save you from the rainy days
Looking back down the track
I'm the one who carried all your weight
And I dont believe you
Dodging blame, catching planes
Ride my tail to freedom
You dont know where you're going
You dont know what is right from wrong
All that you do is lie so
You're passing the buck again
Just hold up your hand and
Take it on the chin
Just get out you're lying again
Take the blame
Just get out of my life
And be a man; if you can
My ears are burning from the tales you spin
Cracks me up, push your luck
Telling people all the lies you made
Time and time again to please you
Forgetting me in misery
What did you ever give me back?

Great song, one of the best off the new album. He wrote this about people who do not take responsibility for their actions, mainly referring to world leaders and the high powered people running countries, like sending our boys to war....I know this because he said it at a recent gig
I love this song. It's a great song to listen to when you're angry.
I think you'll find this song is about Stuart Cable - for more recent Phonics fans, Stuart was the drummer who left the band (well, Kelly booted him out) a few years back, before Xavier joined.
Kelly seems to be suggesting that Stuart "rode his tail" to success and never gave anything back in return - he was a bit of a lazy complainer who always wanted things his way, and Kelly couldn't take it any more.
There was rather a long drawn out court case to reach a settlement, as Stuart sued for being unfairly sacked. Hence the references to him repeatedly lying, and not taking responsibility for his part in the breakdown of the friendship.
Just my opinion obviously.
He actually said the song is about their crew.
When they accepted the Live8 gig they were wondering if they made a mistake, as they didn't think their current crew were capable of setting up their equipment for that slot.
Some personnel (crew) changed around that time too.
