lyrics

Go again but don't you get buried
Said the man before
This deed was over
Now they're burring down his door

Hail no to repercussions
Hail no to consequence
Hail no to retribution
On my first offence

So then I won't get buried
And no, I won't be told
My dream is over
Won't be nothing when I'm old
But if it's all you can manage
Just to disagree
Go take your sleep
Don't leave the nightlight on for me

Go again but don't you get buried
Go ahead but don't you get buried

You might not be wasted
You've got to chew it if you taste
Don't have to do it, though they may have said it's for you
Leads start falling
Police start calling
I'm not warning you

So face the cold and break the mould
And take the old fake documents right down your favourite station
What complication!
'Cos when it's done it's done
Though you'll deny it for fifteen years
On no. Say you're an honest bloke, they'll hope you choke

So go ahead get buried
But no, you won't be told
Your dream is over
Won't be nothing when you're old
But if it's all you can manage
Just to disagree
Go take your sleep
Don't leave the nightlight on for me

Go again but don't you get buried
Go ahead but don't you get buried

You might not be wasted
You've got to chew it if you taste
Don't have to do it, though they may have said it's for you
Leads start falling
Police start calling
I'm not warning you

You see it's only done in recompense

You might not be wasted
You've got to chew it if you taste
Don't have to do it, though they may have said it's for you
Leads start falling
Police start calling
I'm not warning you

You take all you can get
All you can make from all that was said
But it's all in good time
All in good time
All in good time

I would embrace this moment for you
All in good taste until we get through
But it's all in good time
All in good time
All in good time
