Show Turn On Me by The ShinsYou can fake it for a while Bite your tongue and smile Like every mother does her ugly child But it starts to leaking out Like spittle from a cloud Amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound You entertaining any doubts 'Cause you had to know that I was fond of you Fond of Y-O-U Though I knew you masked your disdain I can see the change was just too hard for us Hard for us You always had to hold the reins But where I'm headed you just don't know the way So affections fade away And do adults just learn to play The most ridiculous repulsive games All our favorite ruddy sons And their double-barreled guns You better hurry Rabbit run run run 'Cause mincing you is fun And there's a lot of hungry hatters in this world Set on taking it over But brittle thorny stems They break before they bend And neither one of us is one of them And the tears will never mend ‘Cause you had it in for me so long ago Boy I still don't know I don't know why and I don't care Well hardly anymore If you'd only seen yourself hating me Hating me When I'd been so much more than fair But then you'd have to lay those feelings bare The one thing I know still got you scared Yeah all that cold ire And never once aired on a dare You had to know that I was fond of you Fond of Y-O-U So I took your licks at the time A change like that is just so hard to do Hard to do Don't let it whip-crack your life And I'll bow out from the fight Those old pious sisters were right The worst part is over Now get back on that horse and ride. The Shins You can fake it for a while, bite your tounge and smile, like every mother does her ugly child. But it starts to leaking out, like spittle from a cloud, amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound. You entertaining any doubts, 'cause you had to know that I was fond of you. Fond of Y-O-U. Though I knew you masked your distain I can see the change was just too hard for us, you always had to hold the reigns, but where I'm headed you just don't know the way. So affections fade away, or do adults just learn to play, the most ridiculous repulsive games? All our favorite ruddy sons, and their double-barreled guns, you'd better hurry rabbit, run, run, run! 'Cause mincing you is fun, and there's a lot of hungry hatters in this world set on taking over. But brittle thorny stems, they break before they bend, and neither one of us is one of them. And the tears will never mend, 'cause you had it in for me so long ago. I don't know why and I don't care, well hardly anymore. If you'd only seen yourself hating me, when I'd been so much more than fair. But then you'd have to lay those feelings bare. The one thing I know has still got you scared. Yeah all that cold ire, and never once aired on a dare! (bridge) You had to know know that I was fond of you. Fond of Y-O-U. So I took your licks at the time. A change like that is just so hard to do, don't let it whip-crack you life. And I'll bow out from the fight - Those old pius sisters were right - the worst part is over, now get back on that horse and ride.
