lyrics

Back on the gear

I’m back on the gear, as long as I’m here
My promises are all conditional.
I’m back on the gear, the judge made it clear
My evidence is inadmissible.
Out on the deck, with another cigarette
Staring off into the middle distance.

I’m back on the gear
Who told you I’m back on the gear?

I’m back on the gear, the story’s unclear
My anecdotes are highly flexible.
I’m back on the gear, your eyes made it clear
My attitude was unacceptable.
I’m down on my knees, I’m begging you please
I’m wondering if it is fixable.

I’m back on the gear
Who told you I’m back on the gear?

Back on the gear, what have we here?
Heimlich manoeuvre, Happy New Year!
The sniffer dogs are looking for fruit
I’m in the can, just a little toot.
You get the bags, I’ll get the car
I’ll take the call, you take the fall.

I’m back on the gear
Who told you I’m back on the gear?
I’m back on the gear
There’s a phone call for you.
