I Think I Like What I Don’t Know About You – Tim Rogers


This whole day was useless

Next one's gonna be worse

Cos I'm wearing this badge of fortune like

A criminals wears a curse

I want to chase that rabbit right off the rails

And rip this metal keeping my mouth in check

But I need that muzzle like a razor and a stubble

Cuttin' all this history from my neck

Do you remember the gear I first saw you in

Eating Mexican in '92?

In between your folks and a birthday toast

It was black from your fringe to your shoes

I'm picking apples out of paintings

And making record covers in the sky

I missed my boat sitting here imagining

Your face when you cry


Don't be cruel, come on be sugar in my tooth

I think I like what I don't know about you


This whole day threw up some tickets

None I'd ever choose

The sky's so heavy it hangs like a beer gut

Spilling stuff on my shoes

Don't get me wrong, I ain't complaining

I still got my legs like a cheap Christmas tree

But if I got faith why am I so scared

Of everybody dying on me


Don't be cruel, come on be sugar in my tooth

I think I like what I don't know about you

Don't be cruel, come on be champagne in my shoe

I think I like what I don't know about you


Fish and chips stall down the south coast ready

I can show you what I'm worth

So set me up a bottle and salt and vinegar

If you get there first

I said if you get there first


Don't be cruel, come on be sugar in my tooth

I think I like what I don't know about you

Don't be cruel, come on be champagne in my shoe

I think I like what I don't know about you
