Loose Tongue - Neil Finn

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
