Future of the Left - Travels With Myself and Another

Chin Music

I know it only happened 'cause I couldn't stop drinking.
It only happened 'cause I couldn't drink more.
He took a picture of the ugly scene
And made stupid threats, yeah, you know what I mean.

I only hit him 'cause he made me crazy.
I only hit him 'cause he made me mad.
She only hit him 'cause it gets her wet.
Yeah, she's one of a kind, she's got chin music.

The boy wears it well.
You never can...

I knew I couldn't stop it so I didn't die trying.
I didn't stop it so I didn't think twice.
He wasn't heading for a glittering life
He's just a one-town man with a one-man wife.

I only hit him 'cause he made me crazy.
I only hit him 'cause he made me mad.
She only hit him 'cause it gets her wet.
Yeah, she's one of a kind, she's got chin music.

Our final test:
What passes now, it stays between us.
The scrubbers and the buggers have it right.
Stand up and raise your heads for the chin music.

The boy wears it well.
You never can...
