please forget the words that I just blurted out
it wasn't me, it was a strange and creeping doubt
it keeps rattling my cage
and there's nothing in this world will keep it down
even though I might, even though I try, I can't
even though I might, even though I try, I can't
so many things that keep, that keep me underground
so many words that I, that I can never find
if you give up on me now
I'll be gutted like I've never been before
and even though I might, even though I try, I can't
even though I might, even though I try, I can't
if you give up on me now
I'll be gutted like I've never been before
and even though I might, even though I try, I can't
The song was first recorded for the October 1991 Manic Hedgehog demo tape:
The only available live recording of the song comes from 1991, being the oldest live recording of the band circulating in public. The otherwise unknown gig took place perhaps late in the year around the time First Tapes was recorded.
