See If They Applaud Songtext / Lyric

I had too much to drink last night, now I'm lying on the floor

Watching the coloured patterns in my eyes, leftovers from the light

And this “bearing all” thing is harder than I thought

I'm gonna pull out my own tail feathers and see if they applaud



See I always had this problem while you were still around

We both threw our cards on the table but yours were all face down

You know the thing about failure is it happens when you're out of time

You don't know you've lost the race until you cross the finish line



And that's

How high

I'll refrain this time

You know the rain's come down again

You'll pardon me if I don't seem surprised






Now the grey suits and the big boys they're all slaves to their bank balance, see

The media mass markets freedom as the ultimate commodity

And you tattoo my image on the lips of all your friends

As some tight cunt to fuck and leave and fuck again



Like I'd say

How high

I'll refrain this time

You know the rain's come down again

You'll pardon me if I don't seem surprised

How high, how high, how high



And I had too much to drink last night, now I'm lying on the floor

Watching the coloured patterns in my eyes, leftovers from the light

And this “bearing all” thing is harder than I thought

I'm gonna pull out my own tail feathers and see if they applaud

See if they applaud
