Crocodile Smiles

Verse 1

Excuse me while I turn away, adjust my dress (adjust his dress)

I know the way you live you couldn’t settle for less

My shoes are clean my teeth have been, renovated by Doctor White

The way I speak is not mild and meek, it puts you on edge

It really puts you to flight

Bridge

That don’t mean I’m disrespectful,

Oh please accept me as I am

Jesus, I’ve had a gut-full of;

Chorus 1

Crocodile smiles, kangaroo trials, blatant lies and flat denials

Using excuses like they’re going out of style

Avoiding the subject all the while

And treat me like a bloody child

I’m here and here I stay, you can’t get rid of me, no-way!

‘Cause everybody wants their share, everybody gotta be somewhere

Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere

Verse 2

I don’t know why my life has done this to me (it’s a tragedy)

Everything I do is shrouded in mystery

I’m uninspired I’ve been denied, my foothold in the dirt

Shut my case right in my face and shouted for the next please (next please!)

Do I have to say more?

Bridge 2

I know they’re trying to forget me

But I’m gonna fight until the end

I’m gonna fulfil my destiny,

Chorus 2

When the flood gate breaks, the world awakes, to what it gives and what it takes,

Don’t have to suffer no sweaty handshakes, pull them out like an old toothache

And sort the real boys from the fakes;

I’m here and here I stay, you can’t get rid of me, no-way!

Everybody wants their share, everybody gotta be somewhere

Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
