lyrics

I want to know your history
I want to know your kin
Make for the safety matches
Make for the easy win

There go the prim and proper
There go the “how it’s done”
And hope is misgiving’s daughter
And me I am April’s son

How d’you know they won’t be howling slander?
‘Cause they might, ‘cause they might
How d’you know I won’t revert to type again?
‘Cause I might, ‘cause I might
We’ll call the whole thing misguided elation
If you like, if you like
Or I’ll find all of my flaws and then replace them
If you like, if you like, if you like

All that you need is momentum
To be like a tributary
To sidestep the diktats and edicts
Telling you how to be

Bearing the load of a lintel
The words left their marks on your skin
You kept your eye on the front door
While I worked out where to begin

How d’you know they won’t be howling slander
‘Cause they might, ‘cause they might
How d’you know I won’t revert to type again
‘Cause I might, ‘cause I might
We’ll call the whole thing misguided elation
If you like, if you like
Or I’ll find all of my flaws and then replace them
If you like, if you like, if you like

There go the prim and proper
There go the “how it’s done”
And hope is misgiving’s daughter
And me I am April’s son
