Things I Thought I'd Never Do - Jack Savoretti

Stayin' too long at the honky tonk Spendin' too much just to tie one on Little less right and a lot more wrong Sounds like somethin' I'd do Callin' in sick when the fish are bitin' Takin' those curves with the gravel flyin' Keepin' one eye on the next horizon Sounds like somethin' I'd do I never had a reason, girl To go 'round lookin' for a fire to walk through It ain't like me to want somebody Rearrangin' all my want to's I ain't the kind to settle down Or let myself get wrapped around Somebody's finger, but if I had you Baby, sounds like somethin' I'd do Cleanin' my truck, get it pushin' eighty Pickin' you up and later, maybe Gettin' one kiss and goin' half-crazy Sounds like somethin' I'd do I never had a reason, girl To go 'round lookin' for a fire to walk through It ain't like me to want somebody Rearrangin' all my want to's I ain't the kind to settle down Or let myself get wrapped around Somebody's finger, but if I had you Baby, sounds like somethin' I'd do Yeah I ain't the kind to settle down Or let my heart get wrapped around Somebody's finger, but if I had you Baby, sounds like somethin' Baby, oh, it sounds like somethin' Baby, sounds like somethin' I'd do

When you were younger Blue-eyed boy wonder Never used to ponder On what life may hide Now you're older The nights are so much colder Never even told her How you feel inside You were so proud With your head up in the white clouds She'd call you so loud But you'd never know Now that you're wiser You'd never compromise her Every day you'd realise her But this bird has flown And you've blown out all your candles one by one And you curse yourself for things you've never done She would wait for you Idolize, adore you Love and reassure you You couldn't let it be You let it linger Slip on through your fingers So that September She moved across the sea How your face dropped And how your heart stopped Sitting at the bus stop When they told you that she'd gone So you run to the harbour Need to tell her that you love her As the boat disappears You never felt so alone 'Cause you've blown out all your candles one by one And you curse yourself for things you never done Where were you when her hour of need had come? Now you curse yourself for things you've never done Now your grandson, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, handsome Calls you up from London and sits and asks you, "Why?" So you answer, "Don't be scared of failure The only failure is never to try" Never to try Never to try Never to try And where were you when her hour of need had come? Now you curse yourself for things you've never done

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
