Scritti Politti - Confidence

Текст песни

Every little blemish and every little smell
You get tears for doing madly and a kiss for doing well
But you’ve got to promise not to tell
It’s confidence
Outside the clubs of boyhood
Inside monogamy
All we know is that
Daytime…
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby…
Nighttime…
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby…
I’m scared to tell my mother and I’m scared to tell my mates
All the rotten smother and all the petty hates
Who haven’t got the nerve to break… confidence…
Outside the likes of business
Inside these bedroom walls
All we know is that
Daytime…
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby…
Nighttime…
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby…
«When I met you, it was only you, it’s only you that are true to me
And I can struggle, I can fight
As a young man, there’s nobody new that I can turn to…
Because you’re a girl…»
Daytime…
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby…
Nighttime…
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby…
Stuck along together, you’ll be stuck at home all day
Stuck its way of talking about what I wouldn’t say
To all the boys at work and play
With confidence
Outside the cuts of manhood
Inside monotony
All we do is that
Daytime…
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby…
Nighttime…
Break it back, break it back, break it back, my baby…
Confidence inherent in what a man must do
Reflects on everybody in confidence to you
But you haven’t got the heart to tell me…
