Dangerous Thing from Uncarved by Tim Hawthorn

You said I should be myself
a dangerous thing to do
Cos I've developed a tendency
to speak the truth
It's no use being a recluse
forgive me if I'm a little uncouth

I'm one hundred percent original
A student of the art of falling apart
I've taken my own wise counsel on this matter and I've decided that it's ok to do it this way.

You said I should trust my intuition
a dangerous thing to do,
Cos my intuition tells me
there is something going on
Bold and strong, like an old song
you can't tell me I'm wrong

You said I should follow my feelings
a dangerous thing to do,
Cos my feelings say
let's get close and play
Don't delay, do it today
feel the fear and go for it anyway

You said I shouldn't listen to advice
the worst thing you could have done
Now you couldn't possibly stop me
going for goal number one
I'm in control of my own soul
no time left for playing a role

I'm one hundred percent original
a master of the art of falling apart
I've taken my own wise counsel on this matter and I've decided that it's ok to do it this way.
