the clockworks - the temper lyrics

[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 smile to quicken his pulse
that privilege will go to somebody else

[chorus]
it’s a struggle not to cry
when all you want is what you’ve lost
it’s choking close to dying
when anyone mentions her name
a fury that he couldn’t temper
a temper that he couldn’t take

[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 you want is what you’ve lost
it’s choking close to dying
when anyone mentions her name
a fury that he couldn’t temper
a temper that he couldn’t take

[bridge]
peelin’ the labels of bottles of rum
fl!ckin’ 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 take
but who’s to blame?
