You're so handsome in this light
If only you'd reject me tonight
Darling, there's no 'only way'
When you come, please don't stay
We're so boring, we're so white
We've had too much, so long
Besides, what of freedom can I say
When I smoke du Maurier?

I'd learn to bend, learn to swerve
Learn to bend, learn to butcher

I could look wholesome in this light
Brown and homely is lovely
Besides, where can we go wrong, we stray for nothing now
So just once more fall for the stone
Neglect the flesh to pursue the bone
Darling beauty, daily bread

Say, learn to bend, learn to swerve
(Do it to make amends and do it over again)
Learn to bend, learn to butcher
(Make amends and do it over again)
Learn to bend, learn to swerve
(Do it to make amends and do it over again)
Learn to bend, learn to butcher
(Make amends and do it over again)
Do it over
