chekhov’s guns

[Verse 1] If I had a bad day every time that I'd said I had a bad day Then I wouldn't be the owner of this snooker hall My winning smile trained on a second one With the utmost respect You are not a big fish until you sink ships Well, my ship is not sinking in this bathtub It is empty and the taps are just monuments [Refrain] The terror of sign-posts has reduced my social circle To the man in the corner shop who has never changed a lightbulb [Verse 2] If I knew a good thing every time that I'd said I knew a good thing Then I wouldn't be a member of this firing squad And my throat would not burn with the friction I am totally finе with the use of my picture in your pamphlеts If in turn you will paint me like your piglets If in turn you will paint me like your piglets Don't hold back [Refrain] Our medium sized regrets are dependent on perspective When you've got so many in the bank, they're impossible to measure [Chorus] Ch-ch-ch-ch-Chekhov's guns Shout out the end at the top of your lungs 'Cause who's got time to be fucking around? Not me, not you, or the other characters Ch-ch-ch-ch-Chekhov's guns Shout out the end at the top of your lungs 'Cause who's got time to be fucking around? Not me, not you, or the other characters [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] No truth told, no manners sold No conspiracy, no conspiracy, no conspiracy No truth told, no manners sold No conspiracy, no conspiracy, no conspiracy No truth told, no manners sold No conspiracy, no conspiracy, no conspiracy No truth told, no manners sold No conspiracy, no conspiracy, no [Chorus] Ch-ch-ch-ch-Chekhov's guns Shout out the end at the top of your lungs 'Cause who's got time to be fucking around? Not me, not you, or the other characters Ch-ch-ch-ch-Chekhov's guns Shout out the end at the top of your lungs 'Cause who's got time to be fucking around? Not me, not you, or the other characters
