Loose Tongue

Remember my loose tongue Forget what I just said I'd crawl over broken glass If we could start again Before our plans were made When the world was young The house is falling down Because of my loose tongue Shouldn't say so much Shouldn't talk so loud No sooner on your lips Than it's all over town In all our given days How many gone to waste A good man has been hung Because of my loose tongue Your skin is changing its hue Your guard is coming down fast Looks like someone I knew Uncovered happiness at last All the wagging tongues Too much information In the future now Under massive doubt The papers on the street Get trampled under feet And they settled for a princely sum Goodwill is coming down And when it rains Your well is full --- Loose Tongue - Neil Finn
