Don't Tell Me Anything

(アルバム： Simpatico - 1997)

Right now no song on the radio could be too stupid for my heart
Wind me up and let me walk
I've got no strategy but to suck up the sear and tear the earth apart
Man like dog can be taught not to talk
Yeah, those who remember me as half good company
As a man who saved himself through irony

Don't tell me anything if I hear a secret, I'll burst
Don't tell me anything unless you wanna hear the worst
I'll never tell anyone what they haven't already heard
Don't tell me anything if I smell a secret, I'll burst

My tongue just wanna get rid of the truth, yeah, it's one big misery
And then right here, where silence's king
It goes against the grain of who I thought I was
A bird drops in and I start to sing
I bump into furniture and step on peoples feet
And I say the things I shouldn't say to those I meet

So don't tell me anything if I hear a secret, I'll burst
Don't tell me anything unless you wanna hear the worst
I'll never tell anyone what they haven't already heard
Don't tell me anything if I smell a secret, I'll burst

Yeah, those who remember me as half good company
As a man who saved himself through irony
Subtleties... It's a mean attack of honesty

Don't tell me anything unless you wanna hear the worst
I'll never tell anyone what they haven't already heard
Don't tell me anything if I hear a secret, I'll burst
Yeah, don't tell me anything if I smell a secret, I'll burst
