about

Lyrics by Kenton Hall
Music by Kenton Hall, John Barrow, Les Haydn, Mark Haynes, Chris Ilett & John McCourt

lyrics

Charlotte, I didn't do a goddamn thing
I stepped from all the noise and answered on the second ring
Charlotte, I was where I said I'd be
And I think you've got a nerve to say it's you that can't trust me

Cause it's you who always bails
When the wind vacates our sails
And your friends start telling tales
Charlotte, you're taking the...

Pistol that you load with such distaste
And firing it at random targets, backasswardly saving face
Charlotte, still your lips and use your ears
I'm drunk enough to tell the truth and taste the glycerin in your tears

Cause it's you who always bails
When the wind vacates our sails
And your friends start telling tales
Charlotte, you're taking the...

Mystery and the thrills that we once prized
And twisting them into cheap alibis
You dream up all these other girls
From beneath those other guys
Charlotte, I loved you once
But I've forgotten why

Charlotte, kindly stop wasting my time
I can't decide which to suggest that you grow first: heart, brain or spine
Charlotte, there's a line drawn in the sand
If you're so desperate to step over, I'd quite gladly lend a hand

Cause it's you who always bails
When the wind vacates our sails
And your friends start telling tales
Charlotte, you're taking the piss

Charlotte, you're taking the piss
Charlotte, you're taking the piss
Charlotte, you're taking the piss
Charlotte, you're taking the piss
