Lyrics

[Verse 1] The lanes were silent There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles I doused our friendly venture With a hard-faced three-word gesture [Chorus] I started something I forced you to a zone And you were clearly never meant to go Hair brushed and parted Typical me, typical me, typical me I started something and now I'm not too sure [Verse 2] I grabbed you by the guilded beams Oh, that's what tradition means And I doused another venture With a gesture that was absolutely vile [Chorus] I started something I forced you to a zone And you were clearly never meant to go Hair brushed and parted Typical me, typical me, typical me I started something and now I'm not too sure [Verse 3] I grabbed you by the guilded beams Oh, that's what tradition means And now eighteen months' hard labour seems Fair enough [Chorus] I started something And I forced you to a zone And you were clearly never meant to go Hair brushed and parted Typical me, typical me, typical me I started something and now I'm not too sure [Chorus] I started something I started something Typical me, typical me, typical me, typical me, typical me, Typical me, typical me I started something and now I'm not too sure [Outro] Okay Stephen. Do that again
