[Verse 1]
I get so scared and I feel such guilt, like when you first drew blood
Although the situation is improving
But when your mood is good, it gives us all a lift
Although your secret language is confusing
[Chorus]
And when I work it all out, I'll tell you
I know you know I don't know what I'm doing
Did I pass it on, all the anger and doubt?
Your behaviour leads to one conclusion
When I work it all out, I'll tell you
[Verse 2]
My tastes are still the same, it's just my habits that've changed
The nightly ritual is new, but feels as old as time
I guide my hands along the contours of your mother's back
But there are knots I can't erase, I end up losing track

Your behaviour leads to one conclusion

I helped make you and I'll placate you
[Chorus]
And when I work it all out, I'll tell you
I know you know I don't know what I'm doing
Did I pass it on, all the anger and doubt?
Your behaviour leads to one conclusion
When I work it all out, I'll tell you
I know you know I don't know what I'm doing
Did I pass it on, all the anger and doubt?
I know you know I don't know what I'm doing

When Duncan [Lloyd, Maxïmo Park guitarist] sends me a song, I just try and tap into the atmosphere of what he’s doing. This was one of those songs where I just sang at the top of my voice, and at the end of the song I’m almost barking like a dog. I sent them all through to Ben in Atlanta and said, ‘...
