Lyrics

Crosswords

Show me your teeth not the whites of your eyes
Don't look so suprised, it's all lies lies lies
You confront the issue
You dance with a tissue
You know that I missed you when you weren't around
You look like a dinosaur, yeah you're pretty hardcore
And thats why I love you more than any girl in town
And thats why I love you more than any girl in town

Too short, hate sport, throw a ball, score a nought
Buy a drink, have a think, open up, take it in
Open up, take it in, open up, take it in

Show me your teeth, not the whites of your eyes
Don't look so suprised, it's all lies lies lies
You confront the issue
You dance with a tissue
You know that I missed you when you weren't around
You look like a dinosaur, yeah you're pretty hardcore
And thats why I love you more than any girl in town
And thats why I love you more than any girl in town
