Shoot the Poets (Album Version) - The Cribs

Cut off your nose to spite your friends

Breathing holes that will never end oh

Speak all you want or just pretend

Because you think she is a different class

So she sits all day by the looking glass oh

It doesn't talk it doesn't last

But it's not what I've heard you know

A picture speaks a thousand words

But baby don't feel down

I left my heart in the privacy of town yeah

You sold your soul for magic beans

Don't believe all you read on computer screens

These things they mean nothing to me

Rimpton stain came off the track

You go there once and you don't come back oh

Good that's what I say

But it's not what I've heard you know it

Cut your losses shoot the poets

And one day you'll come down

To find yourself in the privacy of town

But it's not what I've heard you know

A picture speaks a thousand words

But baby don't feel down

I left my heart in the privacy of town yeah

But it's not what I've heard you know it

Cut your losses shoot the poets

And one day you'll come down

Oh to find yourself in the privacy of town
