Nailing my colours to the mast here...
Lyrics
D Bm G I like a quiet life with arguments D Bm G I like to take things easy no fuss Bm A But don’t take this passivity G For easy vulnerability A A2/4 A A2/4 A Try to take some advantage, I’ll suss You don’t have to act hard to be solid A wry smile can hide inner poise No need for outpourings Secure in your moorings Empty vessels make the loudest noise G A D So don’t try your pushing and shoving G A D Though it may take time to get my goat G A I may smile for some minutes F#m Bm But don’t overstep your limits A A2/4…. all the way up Back me in a corner and I’ll go for your throat Don’t you think there’s enough trouble in this world Without going searching for more Though I may not flaunt it You throw down that gauntlet You’ll get more than you bargained for.. D A D You’ll get more than you bargained for featuring Roger Brawn on lead guitar
