Bend the Rules Lyrics by Beatenberg

The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg

2014

[Chorus]
Why do you bend the rules?
You know they don't apply to you
Why do you try to be cool?
You know it doesn't suit you
Why do you stand in the rain?
You know it's gonna rain on you
Why do you bend the rules?
You know they don't apply to you

[Verse 1]
You hang around like a cocker spaniel on the ground
You've been low, you've been lonely in the evening, now you're 23
You feel the room with a catastrophic sense of gloom
Don't you know that we need you, don't you know that

[Chorus]
Why do you bend the rules?
You know they don't apply to you
Why do you try to be cool?
You know it doesn't suit you
Why do you stand in the rain?
You know it's gonna rain on you
Why do you bend the rules?
You know they don't apply to you

[Verse 2]
I saw your car, everybody's asking where you are
I don't know what to tell them, I don't know what you want me to say
You know my views, I would never turn away from you
You can hide if you need to, if you need to

[Bridge]
You can hide if you need to
You can hide
You can hide if you need to
You can hide
You can hide if you need to

[Chorus]
Why do you bend the rules?
You know they don't apply to you
Why do you try to be cool?
You know it doesn't suit you
Why do you stand in the rain?
You know it's gonna rain on you
Why do you bend the rules?
You know they don't apply to you

[Outro]
Why do you always have to bend the rules?
I know you know they don't apply to you
(You know, you know, you know)
Why do you always have to bend the rules?
I know you know they don't apply to you
