Mouth Almighty

This town belongs to you and your tricks of confidence
All the pavements for miles around are littered with your footprints
Now every girl I get close to seems to be wearing your perfume
The clock strikes the letters of your name
Both midnight and noon
But I used to shoot my mouth off
Till you'd had enough of me
Once or twice nightly
I know I've got my faults
And among them I can't control my tongue
But if you didn't believe me
Why did you have to leave me
With my mouth almighty?
Mouth almighty, that is what I've got
Mouth almighty, telling you what's what
Mouth almighty
I wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
Wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
Wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
So I threw away the rose, held onto the thorn
Crawling round with my crooner cufflinks and my calling card cologne
But the realisation of being replaced starts to tell tales across my face
Without a soul to talk to or a hair out of place
But I used to shoot my mouth off
Till you'd had enough of me
Once or twice nightly
I know I've got my faults
And among them I can't control my tongue
But if you didn't believe me
Why did you have to leave me
With my mouth almighty?
Mouth almighty, that is what I've got
Mouth almighty, telling you what's what
Mouth almighty
I wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
Wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty
Wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty, oh
