The Stranglers Follow

You got good intentions but just end up being a twat
Seems you do anything to get a laugh
It's tongue in cheek but that can come out brash

You wanna think of people's feelings
A little bit of tact is what you lack
And all that shit you were chatting to that bird
While your bird lies at homes just proper slack

You're gonna reap what you sow
You hear the voice of reason and you don't wanna know
Looking over shoulders and walking other roads
You're gonna have to face this and see how things go

It's never until the morning
You realize what upon you is dawning
It's too late though mate the damage is done
It's simple maths if you'd have done the sums

Just don't say them gags
Or realize that she's with those lads
Or maybe if you'd just answered your phone
And listened to your girl

When she said come home
That's all it would of took, just that little bit of sense, son
And you wouldn't be in this predicament
And you wouldn't be getting, run, you better run 'cause

You're gonna reap what you sow
You hear the voice of reason and you don't wanna know
Looking over shoulders and walking other roads
You're gonna have to face this and see how things go

So uncomplicate this and try and keep it tidy
Why ruin such a damn good party
So many just like you looking for some body
And there looking so goddamn ready

It's on your door step so there's no escape
Plan your route to avoid a scrape
You gonna bump into them though
And when you do seconds out round 2

You always take it that step two far
Every time you seem to raise the bar
Every time you somehow surpass
The foolish move you pulled off last

And it was funny once
But you getting kind of boring
And you've always believed in Karma
Guess it's time you starting acting Karma

You're gonna reap what you sow
You hear the voice of reason and you don't wanna know
Looking over shoulders and walking other roads
You're gonna have to face this and see how things go

So uncomplicate this and try and keep it tidy
Why ruin such a damn good party
So many just like you looking for some body
And there looking so goddamn ready

Time to move your body now
Time to move your body now

So uncomplicate this and try and keep it tidy
Why ruin such a damn good party
So many just like you looking for some body
And there looking so goddamn ready

You got good intentions but just end up being a twat
Seems you do anything to get a laugh
