The Wind-Up Birds - Teeth

Here we stand  
Where the defibrillator hangs 
Hold our breath 
Holding hands 
Too old to die 
Too old for gangs 
The devil laughed when we made them plans 
 
So our fingers are burned but they're not yet charred 
We sing our songs till we get barred 
Find new ways to make you sad 
These were our lives but we only guest-starred 
 
We had a bad day and we drew teeth on it 
It bit us on the cheek and it made us vomit  
But don't worry cos the holes are free 
They're always free for you and me  
 
If we sing our songs slightly out of tune 
Well you don't understand this place we grew in 
The taste has gone but we're still chewing 
Everybody loves a ruin 
Everybody loves a ruin 
If the taste has gone just keep on chewing 
You'll never understand this place we grew in 
 
Don't sing our songs  
 
We had a bad day and we drew teeth on it 
It bit us on the cheek and it made us vomit  
But don't worry cos the holes are free 
They're always free for you and me  
 
This isn't a community song 
And don't sing this one when you're on your own 
Here's a breakdown that's a little too long 
It's a clue for you not to sing along 
 
Don't drink your beer and shout it out with the blokey men 
Cos it isn't for you and it isn't for them  
And if you think you should be singing this to your loved one 
I think you're incorrect there cos this isn't your song 
 
This isn't the right song 
 
Your being too entitled 
Stop having a tantrum 
All we've deprived you of is one little song 
I hear you humming 
Well you're doing it wrong 
Cos this isn't for you 
This isn't your song 
This isn't for you 
This isn't your song 
 
Don't sing along 
Don't sing along  
Don't sing along with me  
Don't sing along
