Ballast Lyrics by Front End Loader

Adolescent Fantasy World

1994

You'll be sorry when you hear just what this means for you
You'll be sorry when you see your place slammed into view
Only in the time untold, will it unfold
I'll tell you what was on my mind, for all this time

Now you won't talk to me because I laid you out (I laid you out)
Now you won't talk to me because I laid you out (I laid you out)
Now you won't talk to me because I laid you out (I laid you out)
Now you won't talk to me because I laid you out

My prediction is too patronising for your ears
My prediction is the opposite of what you hear
If I wasn't quite so scared, then I would dare
To come up and say to you, what is true

Now you won't talk to me because I laid you out (I laid you out)
Now you won't talk to me because I laid you out (I laid you out)
You won't talk to me because I laid you out (I laid you out)
Now you won't talk to me because I laid you out

I laid you out
I laid you out

I laid you out
Out!

For the first time I am going to have to help myself
For the first time my priority is someone else
That's the reason I pretend, that we're just friends
If I spilt the beans to you, then you'd shoot through

Now you won't talk to me because I laid you out (I laid you out)
??? me before I laid you out (I laid you out)
You won't talk to me because I laid you out (I laid you out)
I wish you'd talked to me before I laid you out (I laid you out)
I laid you out!

Stop it there
