lyrics

Never bend to tie your bootlace in a car park late at night
Never toss a poisoned apple to a child
Never paint the sky quite blue, don’t pretend the clouds are white
Don’t forget where all the secrets are filed
Pour another shot boy, fill it to the brim
Your uncle will dispense a little more advice

Never read a lover’s diary if you got no taste for bile
Never look a hurt hyena in the eye
Never take the kind of job where you always got to smile
Don’t let the petty bastards see you cry
Now switch off your phone boy, kick it to the curb
Your uncle will dispense a little more advice

Life spins how you shape it out of pocket-lint and smoke
Mornings are a raffle, mostly evenings are a joke
Keep your lucky numbers hidden for a rainy afternoon
Learn to love the lonely twilight in a filthy motel room

Never snap your hat brim, ‘less you’re thoroughly perturbed
Wear rubber soles - it’s a slippery kind of life
Always face the traffic when you’re walking on the curb
Never pay a shaky hand to twist the knife
Clip another Cuban boy, pass it over here
Your uncle will dispense a little more advice

Life spins how you shape it out of pocket-lint and smoke
Mornings are a raffle, mostly evenings are a joke
Keep your lucky numbers hidden for a rainy afternoon
Learn to love the lonely twilight in a filthy motel room
