Wet Blanket

Metric · Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? [2003]

Fallin' for the creep, the body leech here he comes

Vicious hypnosis, clenched fist saying it's wrong

To want more than a folk song

Underneath the shaker knit he's a brick wall

She keep falling for the trick, vegetariate, sing-along

Give a little kick with your fine thigh-high



Doo-doo-doo we're on to you

Tearin' her down, talkin' her down under your breath

Makin' a mess, see she is happy you wanna break it



Doo-doo-doo we're on to you

Tearin' her down, talkin' her down under your breath

Makin' a mess, see she is happy you wanna break it



Doo-doo-doo we're on to you

Your phoney roots, borrowed guitar

Tellin' her what to think we are

You the number one wet blanket

Hardly a day goes by you don't try to break down

No I don't buy it

You're still around, I wonder why

She just keep



Fallin' for the creep, the body leech here he comes

Vicious hypnosis, clenched fist sayin' it's wrong

To want more than a folk song

Underneath the shaker knit he's a brick wall

She keep falling for the creep

The body leech coming on

Vicious hypnosis, clenched fist saying

It's wrong to want more than a folk song

I'm wrong to want more than a folk song

I'm wrong to want more than a folk song

Underneath the shaker knit he's a brick wall

She keep falling for the trick, vegetariate, sing-along

Give a little kick with your fine thigh-high



Doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo doo-doo



Doo doo doo-doo

Bum bum, bum bum bum, bum

Doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo doo doo-doo

Bum bum, bum bum bum, bum

Doo doo doo-doo

Bum bum, bum bum bum, bum

Doo doo doo-doo

Bum bum, bum bum bum, bum

Doo doo doo-doo

Bum bum, bum bum bum, bum

Doo doo doo-doo

Bum bum, bum bum bum, bum



Doo-doo-doo we're on to you

Tearin' her down, talkin' her down under your breath

Makin' a mess, see she is happy you wanna break it



Doo-doo-doo we're on to you

Your bathing suit, borrowed guitar

Tellin' her what to think we are

You the number one wet blanket

Still around I wonder why

You're still around I wonder why

You the number one wet blanket
