Bad Advice (The Pool Sessions)

I met a man at the bar who’s hidden all his life

The multi-coloured flag he flew before he found a wife

Now he’s daring to be brave since he severed ball from chain

And be the man his father fears ‘cause he was just the same

There’s a woman on the phone desperate to be heard

But the protest in her mother’s tone means she can’t get in a word

She’s trying to convince her she’ll live to regret

Not listening to her body clock, as if she could forget

Maybe you should leave her alone

You know all he wants in your pride

Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes

‘Cause that’s bad advice

Imperious people just care less about the room

Living this vicarious life through another view

They say “it’s ‘cause we care and it’s just for your own good”

But it’s funny how we’ve figured out we’re living like we should

Maybe you should leave her alone

You know all he wants in your pride

Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes

‘Cause that’s bad advice

Maybe you should leave her alone

You know all he wants is your pride

Maybe you should leave her alone

Maybe you should leave her alone

You know all he wants in your pride

Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes

‘Cause that’s bad advice

Maybe you should leave her alone

You know all he wants in your pride

Don’t tell them what to do if you’re not in their shoes

‘Cause that’s bad advice
