Something We Won’t Talk About

[Intro]
Do you like Huey Lewis and The News?
In 87', Huey released this
Fore, the most accomplished album
I think their undisputed masterpiece is Hip To Be Square
A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics
But they should because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself
Hey Paul!

[Verse 1]
Took you out for a drink at a party
Poison cup, silver tongue was the start
You were gone, leaving you numb
(Fuck)
Saw him round, super-clear he’d forgotten
Just the sound of his voice made you rotten
Succumbed
Promised he's done

[Pre-Chorus]
You're a noose made flesh
Physical embodiment of every nightmare he wept in
But he'll never get it, never get it

[Chorus]
Oo-oo, tell me who are you?
Dry your leaking eyes out
This is something we won't talk about
Oo-oo, here, you want a tissue?
Dry your leaking eyes out
This is when it's best to pass out

[Verse 2]
Good to see ya, haven't talked since our bender
Sweating palms, asking 'do you remember?’
Oh no! We were too stoned!
Ask him by for a drink, your apartment
Plastic wrap, got a needle
You start
Pent-up scream comes out, wiping away all doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re a noose made flesh
Physical embodiment of every nightmare
He wept, just another compliment
Noose made flesh
Physical embodiment of every nightmare
He wept, but he'll never get it
Never get it all, no

[Chorus]
Oo-oo, tell me who are you?
Dry your leaking eyes out
This is something we won’t talk about
Oo-oo, here, you want a tissue?
Dry your leaking eyes out
This is when it's best to pass out

[Bridge]
Now you're telling him 'don’t make a sound'
Nah, he ain't some wretch you found
Now he's begging you 'please let me go'
But his ashes are needed to poison the seeds that he's sewn

[Chorus]
Oo-oo, tell me who are you-oo?
Dry your leaking eyes out
This is something we won't talk about
Oo-oo, here, you want a tissue?
Dry your leaking eyes out
This is when it's best to pass out
