lyrics

1/8th

MOST TIMES I START A FIRE I GOT NOTHING TO BURN
IT TAKES A LOT TO GET ME GOING MY GROOVES ARE SO WORN
I SWEAR ONE DAY I'LL FIND MYSELF IN A SITCOM'S KITCHEN
WITH SOME ACTOR WHO'S NOT WEARING PANTS
SO SURE HE CAN MAKE IT GIVEN I/8TH A CHANCE

I'VE AMASSED SOME CONTRADICTIONS A NEST OF BROKEN GLASS
MAGPIE'S LOVE THE SHINEY SURFACE – IT LEAVES ME COLD AND CRASS
HEY, I SHOULD NEVER WHINE ABOUT THESE SITUATIONS
AS THEY'RE ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD FOR LAUGHS
AND I CAN MILK THEM GIVEN 1/8TH A CHANCE

MOST TIMES I'LL RETIRE WHEN I'VE SAID TO MUCH
THE DIRTY LOOKS I REQUIRE MAKE ME YAWN AND STRETCH
I GUESS I NEED SOME TIME AWAY FROM GUILTY PLEASURE SEEKERS
AND PLENTY OF ROOM TO DANCE
YOU KNOW I'LL TAKE IT GIVEN 1/8 A CHANCE
