Key: D minor
Verse 1
And grins like an idiot at his own face.
For as long he lives he will
not be delivered
From the stuff that he did,
Interlude 1
from his teenage mistakes.

Verse 3
I squirm at the memory,
Try to bang down the lid on the
can of worms.
It remains pretty strange
and uncomfortable territory
Where my secrets are hidden,

Verse 5
Embarrassing kid,
you don't know the half of it,
But I'd stake a few quid you've got
gaffes of your own.
Take a look at yourself and you
might have to laugh a bit...

But the teeth that you grit, well at least they're your own.
