Hunters & Collectors - Gut Feeling lyrics

Yesterday when I was young and bold My head was hungry but my feet were cold To the strings of Mumma's apron – I was tied From the initiation I tried to hide I shut my eyes when the truth was all around Dog in a manger that's where I was found You can run all your life but don't ya know You fall in love when there's nowhere else to go Let the pendulum swing – you can have anything C'mon wash me clean – gut feeling! Like a child I was mesmerized All the lessons of romance I memorised I could have broken – I could have cried But I held it in until the feeling died She turned around and she said to me “Boy, you're so hard – you're so angry You're just a child… like everyone else Why don't ya take five and forget yourself!” Let the pendulum swing – you can have anything C'mon wash me clean – gut feeling! She needed room but I didn't believe her Broken words coming down the receiver Everybody's story has a life of its own But what makes a man is what keeps him alone Let the pendulum swing – you can have anything C'mon wash me clean – gut feeling!
