No Backbone Lyrics by Smudge

Mo Poontang

1997

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
It's dawned on me again, I can't balance in-betweens'
It's no longer familiar to me, it's become routine

[Pre-Chorus]
The bedroom ritual
A simple way to feel

[Chorus]
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the backroom no backbone

[Verse 2]
Standards I kept in the back of my mind
Are now just rules to break from time to time
I'm way past worrying about it getting a hold on me
I realize i'll ride on it's back for free

[Pre Chorus]
The bedroom ritual
A simple way to feel

[Chorus]
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, еver being shown
Back in the backroom no backbonе

[Bridge]
Predictably i'll stick to the safety of a script
I know I'll end up settling for a less than perfect fit

[Pre Chorus]
The bedroom ritual
A simple way to feel

[Chorus]
Without running the risk of anything real
Ever being given, ever being shown
Back in the backroom no backbone

[Outro]
Back in the backroom no backbone
Back in the backroom no backbone
Back in the backroom no backbone
