The Streets
I Know Something You Did
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
I know something you did, but I can't say owt
Because of, let's say, how I found out
[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Taste the frickin' lesson like the apple from the doctor
It's all wasted into them but they take the Michael, ooh
Some people's only taste of actual success
Is when they take a bite from you
You hold onto feelings and don't let them go
It'll do you no favours, it's doing you wrong
Why are you obsessed with the debt that I owe you?
I've owed you for ages, move on
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
I know something you did, but I can't say owt
Because of, let's say, how I found out
[Verse 2: Mike Skinner & ELIZA]
Your optimism half-full, your pessimism half-empty
But I wonder why the glass is bigger than it was meant to be
Pacing in the living room, maybe caused by cunch
Wake in the middle of the evening, face falling in my lunch
(And now I have)
Laptop running YouTube over
(Got something you did)
We used to go there, but do witho now
At the little screen on a shitty bed
(That you won't)
Now you pity me, or you dream instead
(Ever admit)
[Chorus: Mike Skinner & ELIZA]
(My fingertips)
I know something you did, but I can't say owt
(Help turn my hips)
Because of, let's say, how I found out
(No time, no time for this)
[Verse 3: Jesse James Solomon]
I know something you did
But I can't say shit
'Cause you'll trace it and start tripping over your laces
Through the grapevine, I made this
Red wine for your tastin'
I thought I knew what your taste was, but you're tasteless
As the flame dimmed and the moon shined on the paintin'
You was waitin', up late for a Pagan
Brazin', it's brazy, I'm not shaken
Head achin', I'm just tired
I'll play you like the PlayStation
But when you play me, it ain't nice
I just bake off, I ain't say shit
'Cause if I said shit, then it's
[Chorus: Mike Skinner & ELIZA]
I know something you did, but I can't say owt
Because of, let's say, how I found out
(I don't wanna play that game
I don't wanna play that shitty game)
[Verse 4: Mike Skinner]
Lock the back door, fuck is that for? The sun is not gone
Kickin' shoes off up the stairs, it's awkward so you forced to stare
Tights off in a game of two, cock the hammer
Feels somethin' like a board game, socks and ladders
Woke up when the night was leavin' the mornin', lyin' on my bed
Like a drawin' of a spiral staircase
That falls and falls and finds no end
Spoken lightly, so you might not hear me
I woke up when the night was leaving
[Chorus: Mike Skinner & ELIZA]
(And now I have)
I know something you did, but I can't say owt
(Got something you did)
Because of, let's say, how I found out
(That you won't ever admit)
(My fingertips)
I know something you did, but I can't say owt
(Help turn my hips)
Because of, let's say, how I found out
(No time)
