Pretty Respectable Lyrics by Mounties

Thrash Rock Legacy

2014

Can't use the current vernacular
Coach says I can't handle it
Really could've learned a thing or two
About what adults do
It's pretty spectacular

Could've been pretty respectable
Tidied up, and highly electable
One day you're standing in a queue to get an IOU
For debt and collectables
Oh oh, oh oh

Could've been pretty respectable
Could've been pretty respectable
Oh oh, oh oh

Death seeking wings
Look at what she brings
Pocketknife telepathy
Eyes are moving things
All around the room, but the centre's always you
Your shoulders locked in gesture but your eyes are always true

You might think it detestable
My favourite whims are questionable
Why is it so quiet when my heart is like a song?

Just when you think it doesn't mean a thing
You see the clouds are clearing (Hands have gone all tight)
Just when you think it doesn't mean a thing
You see the clouds are clearing (Hands have gone all tight)
Just when you think it doesn't mean a thing
You see the clouds are clearing (Hands have gone all tight)

Could've been pretty respectable
Could've been pretty respectable
Could've been pretty respectable
Could've been pretty respectable

In town you're only moving
Looking through binoculars backwards
Well up in the bleachers (Up in the bleachers)
Away from the accents (Away from the accents)
Speaking easy (Speaking easy)
We've earned the right to make a racket

Could've been pretty respectable
Could've been pretty respectable
Could've been pretty respectable (Tidied up and highly electable)
Could've been pretty respectable (Tidied up and highly electable)
Could've been pretty respectable
