lyrics

If we gotta spend
Every minute left
In the lion’s den

Then give me something sweet
To put between its teeth
Anything but me

Waiting on a second son
The first you spurn the next you love
Man you’ve got it down to a science

You can be forever young
Rich enough until you’re numb
I would rather die trying

We will never know baby
It’s better that we don’t maybe

I know that you can see the flaw
Break your teeth to spare your jaw
Tell me what’s been troubling you child

No vision came to you at night
Nothing broke open the sky
Fear is such an elegant liar

We will never know baby
It’s better that we don’t maybe

If we gotta spend
Every minute left
Trying to pretend
Then give me something strong
That I can write it on
Something to defend

Think of all the wasted years
Trying to defeat the fear
You could have been living beside it
You and I can both be wrong
After all it’s up to us
Aren’t you getting sick and tired

We will never know baby
It’s better that we don’t maybe
We will never know baby
It’s better that we don’t maybe

(We will never know baby)
(It’s better that we don’t maybe)

Uneasy Laughter
by MOANING

supported by 5 fans who also own “You Never Know”

Moaning have crafted a brilliantly focused, dissonantly beautiful, and a detachedly deep album. I often ask myself while listening to it, what if young Radiohead had made a post-punk record after The Bends instead of OK Computer? It's that good. Whatever genre this album belongs to, it transcends it and that is always the mark if a true artistic accomplishment. Andru A.
