Eat My Words, Bite My Tongue

[00:00:50] Best to say nothing at all

[00:00:55] No shot from the hip

[00:01:02] You might say something appalling

[00:01:08] A confidence tripped off the tongue

[00:01:19] Better to keep the mouth zipped

[00:01:25] Your silence preserved

[00:01:32] Go through the night with your lips sealed

[00:01:37] For truth is best served by discretion

[00:01:49] Best to refrain

[00:01:52] Don't excuse or explain

[00:01:55] No engage that dull brain

[00:01:58] Before speaking

[00:02:25] I should have listened for once to my own advice

[00:02:33] I should have paid attention

[00:02:41] I was so eager to have my say

[00:02:45] I fell in love with the sound of my own d**n voice

[00:02:57] I never thought how offensive the line might seem

[00:03:05] If taken out of context

[00:03:13] My best intentions all fall away

[00:03:17] And it's no laughing matter

[00:03:21] Now I can't pack that jabberwock back in the box

[00:03:44] No way to take back the hasty phrase

[00:03:52] No chance to unspeak the sentence

[00:03:59] That hangs in the air

[00:04:03] Held up by the jaw dropped silence

[00:04:07] I know you're going to walk away

[00:04:17] Although I make my retraction

[00:04:24] It can't be unsaid

[00:04:28] And my foot's in my mouth for good

[00:04:33] Clearly I'd eat my words

[00:04:42] When all is said and done

[00:04:50] By now you'd think I might have learned

[00:05:13] To bite my tongue
