Nice to Know

I been licking my wounds Sick of holding my tongue I been sweating my way up those blue hills Now I'm taking the plunge I been stealing my nerves And I'm breaking a lot of wishbones Hope I'm displaying manly virtue Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew Oh wouldn't it be nice to know? Oh wouldn't it be nice to know? I been speaking out of turn Feel invincible behind that silver fern And I'm full of a bittersweet anger Sick of meaningful dialogue I been playing the high and mighty Now I'm trying to act my age I been making up for lost time Hope I'm cooking my goose for the very last time Oh wouldn't it be nice to know? Oh wouldn't it be nice to know? Oh wouldn't it be nice to know? Oh wouldn't it be nice to know? It would be nice to know It would be nice to know It would be nice to know Would be nice to know I been licking my wounds Sick of holding my tongue I been sweating my way up those blue hills Now I'm taking the plunge I been stealing my nerves And I'm breaking a lot of wishbones Hope I'm displaying manly virtue Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew Wouldn't it be nice to know? Oh wouldn't it be nice to know? Oh wouldn't it be nice to know? Oh wouldn't it be nice to know? --- Nice to Know - Split Enz
