The Temper Lyrics by The Clockworks

The Clockworks – EP

2022

[Verse 1]
There was something in those eyes she gave
To tell him she had no interest buying the bull he was selling
Silence convicted the crime
So she leaves without a "goodbye"
It's only now he’s hit, he's stricken by the thought
There'll be no more smiles to quicken his pulse
That privilege will go to somebody else

[Chorus]
It’s a struggle not to cry
When all he want is what he's lost
He's choking close to dying
When anyone mentions her name
A fury that he couldn't temper
A temper that he couldn't tame

[Verse 2]
There's blokes millin' 'round, all shady and shifty
Looks like something off an Agatha Christie
He couldn’t care less
He’ll be no parole today
It's back to flat to reheat leftover 3-in-1
He eats absentmindedly watching reruns all day
Tryin’ to act how he ought to behave

[Chorus]
It's a struggle not to cry
When all he want is what he's lost
He's choking close to dying
When anyone mentions her name
A fury that he couldn’t temper
A temper that he couldn't tame

[Bridge]
Peelin' the labels of bottles of rum
Flickin' ask into half-empty cans
He [?] have gone on a run
He'll still pretend that things are going to plan

[Outro]
A fury that he couldn't temper
A temper that he couldn't tame
But who's to blame?
