Cover art for Dumb Things lyrics by Paul Kelly

We studied Paul Kelly's lyrics in English this year, was very interesting! To me, Dumb Things seems to be about making mistakes, and keep on making them, even though you know its a mistake.

'Saw the knives out, turned my back'- He knew he was making a mistake, yet ignored it.

'I get all your good advice It doesn't stop me from going through these things twice'- again, knew a mistake was being made. Besides Hanson, one of the best songwritters around!!
