Some Prefer Nettles Lyrics
There are times when I am happy
Smiling in and out of phase
My teeth are stained
But I am not embarrassed
There certain things to say
To any doubting Thomas I meet
Lick my wounds and feel my breath
I am alive
I have not seen
Nor do I believe
And I suspect if blessed
Is just a test you pass
Then I am failing
There are times I am a child
Armed with chalk and endless blacktop
But we both know
I'm not cut out to be an artist
More and more I am an adult
Living life like you can win
Or with false profundity
Like it's something you can lose
What a story
We will have to tell
Our children's children all the things
We actually felt
But they won't see it
There's a formula I follow
Perhaps it's possible you've picked up
But you should stick like glue
To what or who you know
But
Who am I to give advice?
What bears repeating
Isn’t something I am sure
I've got a good grip on
So what right do I have to put a chorus in my songs?
But sing along, sing along
With egos proud and voices strong
Sing along, sing along, sing along
Smiling in and out of phase
My teeth are stained
But I am not embarrassed
There certain things to say
To any doubting Thomas I meet
Lick my wounds and feel my breath
I am alive
Nor do I believe
And I suspect if blessed
Is just a test you pass
Then I am failing
Armed with chalk and endless blacktop
But we both know
I'm not cut out to be an artist
More and more I am an adult
Living life like you can win
Or with false profundity
Like it's something you can lose
We will have to tell
Our children's children all the things
We actually felt
But they won't see it
Perhaps it's possible you've picked up
But you should stick like glue
To what or who you know
Who am I to give advice?
Isn’t something I am sure
I've got a good grip on
So what right do I have to put a chorus in my songs?
With egos proud and voices strong
Sing along, sing along, sing along
