  • Tell me all, and I'll try to piece it together
    I've got a photo-fit mind, but I'm a first rate forgetter
    Your face will fall, but let's try to keep it together
    The blade withdraws before the knot starts to sever

    The way you stick out your lips,
    And keep your hands on the hips
    And I'm supposed to know
    And I'm supposed to know
    The way you stick out your lips,
    And keep your hands on the hips
    And I'm supposed to know what that means
    You're a puzzle to me, and you always will be
    You're a puzzle to me, and you always will be

    I punched the fence last night
    Another act which you thought pathetic
    Despite this love, I can't forgive when you say forget it

    Your face will fall, but let's try to keep it together
    The blade withdraws before the knot starts to sever

    The way you stick out your lips,
    And keep your hands on the hips
    And I'm supposed to know
    And I'm supposed to know
    The way you stick out your lips,
    And keep your hands on the hips
    And I'm supposed to know what that means
    You're a puzzle to me, and you always will be
    You're a puzzle to me, and you always will be

    You're a puzzle to me, and you always will be
    You're a puzzle to me, and you always will be

    Your face will fall, but let's try to keep it together
    The blade withdraws before the knot starts to sever

    The way you stick out your lips,
    And keep your hands on the hips
    And I'm supposed to know what that means
    You're a puzzle to me, and you always will be
    You're a puzzle to me, and you always will be Writer/s: Archis Tiku, Duncan Robert Lloyd, Lukas Wooller, Paul Anthony Smith, Thomas English
