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

lyrics

I've been trying to parse my parlez-vous
But I have been defeated
With every word I fail to use
My sentence is completed
Should I be so bold
As to lay it on the line?
Cause there’s a truth I'm told
That is emblazoned on your spine
I’d like to double your entendre
And tack two letters onto fond
So now you know

I have been struck dumb
By this fantasy I'm nursing
Cause somewhere between cats and tongues
Lies the poetry of cursing
I don’t want to make
Us the talk of the town
But that’s a risk I'll take
To hear your breath catch on that sound
I'll ply my linguistics with guile
And part your lips into a smile
So now you know

I might be imperfect
I might make you tense
I might be leaning too hard
On this tortured eloquence
But I am more than willing
To provide hard evidence
Is any of this making sense?

These days I am more at ease
With set-ups than denouements
So steer me through the silence please
I'll say whatever you want
Now I've made it clear
I hope you're more moved than disturbed
Because I need you here
With your noun up against my verb
I'll put the moan back into mime
And turn you on a paradigm
So now you know

What you gonna do about it, now you know?
(So now you know)
(Now you know, now you know, now you know, now you know)
What you gonna do about it, now you know?
(So now you know)
(Now you know, now you know, now you know, now you know)
What you gonna do about it, now you know?
(So now you know)
(Now you know, now you know, now you know, now you know)
What you gonna do about it, now you know?
(So now you know)
(Now you know, now you know, now you know, now you know)
