Lyrics

Pipedown

Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it's not the right sound
Neither am I, oh my, oh my

Do your songs
Look out a fairer way
If it comes undone
Just paper over the cracks
And there ain't no turning back

Overs the sun
They'll make you out to be a tearaway
Comes undone
Oh I just spoke to Matt
And they want the money back

Ah put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it's the right sound
Oh my, oh my, oh my

Do your songs
Work out a fairer way
Can you play no fun?
Oh, what you think of that
'Cause they're wanted but

You better pipe down
You got the right sound
Put the pipe down
Oh my, oh my, oh my

Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it's not the right sound
Neither am I, oh my, oh my

Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it's the right sound
Oh my, oh my, oh my
