Lyrics I Was Only Joking

Ever since I was a kid at school

I messed around with all the rules

Apologised then realised

I'm not different after all

Me and the boys thought we had it sussed

Valentinos all of us

My dad said

We looked ridiculous but boy we broke some hearts

In and out of jobs running free waging war with society

Dumb blank faces stare back at me

But nothing ever changed

Promises made in the heat of the night

Creeping home before it got too light

I wasted all that precious time and blamed it on the wine

I was only joking my dear

Looking for a way

To hide my fear

What kind of fool was I

I could never win

Never found a compromise

Collected lovers like butterflies

Illusions of that grand first prize are slowly wearing thin

Susie baby you were good to me giving love unselfishly

But you took it all too seriously

I guess it had to end

I was only joking my dear

Looking for a way

To hide my fear

What kind of fool was I

I could never win

Yeah baby

Wow

Now you ask me if I'm sincere

That's the question

That I always fear

Verse Seven is never clear

But I'll tell you what you want to hear

I try to give you all you want

But giving love is not my strongest point

If that's the case it's pointless going on

I'd rather be alone

'Cos what I'm doing must be wrong

Pouring my heart out in a song

Owning up for prosperity

For the whole damn world to see

Quietly now while I turn a page

Act one is over without costume change

The principal would like to leave the stage

The crowd don't understand
