lyrics

MEDDLESOME

so let me take a second, let me lay it out,
and explain it all to you

I think it's worth a mention, that you were all shadowed doubt,
but I know now, that was the best that you could do

you'd think twice, while I tied a knot in my tongue
there's good advice, and then there's just being meddlesome
you're just being meddlesome

I could have used a sextant, to try to figure out
which direction I should choose

pay no mind to the elephant, sitting in the room,
who kind of looks tired and confused, so confused

you'd think twice, while I tied a knot in my tongue
there's good advice, and then there's just being meddlesome

you say that this can wait until tomorrow,
but we both know that could take forever
there's nothing that you're missing,
but you just keep on wishing
because you could never be content,
and you say goodbye because it's obvious

the drugs are no longer helping, although I could have sworn
that for years they were my muse

with every moment I'm left guessing, as to why my brain,
won't do what I tell it to do

you'd think twice, while I tied a knot in my tongue
there's good advice, and then there's just being meddlesome

you say that this can wait until tomorrow,
but we both know that could take forever
there's nothing that you're missing,
but you just keep on wishing
because you could never be content,
and you say goodbye because it's obvious

you'd think twice, while I tied a knot in my tongue
there's good advice, and then there's...

I'm drunk and tired, and I realize
at least we tried, it's not much of a surprise

that it's no one's fault, and what's more, that's all,
we stand absolved, my pockets full of salt

a murder of crows, above me moves,
it flows, and fills the sky with jet-black stars

this phantom limb, points where I've been
"remember when...", is no way to get going again

Better Living Through Chemistry image

Better Living Through Chemistry Ottawa, Ontario

Better Living Through Chemistry are a straight up rock band, with clever lyrics and catchy hooks.

They have a bad case of broken strings, cracked cymbals, and buzzing mics. Schooled in the alternative music scene of the 80s and 90s, this band wears their influences (The Replacements, Faith No More, R.E.M., & Soul Asylum, (among many others) on their collective sleeves...like badges of honour. ... more
