Lyrics Nik Kershaw

Nik Kershaw

Burning at Both Ends

What's the matter with your face?

What's the matter with they way you talk?

What you doing with that spoon?

You should be eating with a knife and fork

Take a look at your body

Take a look at your state of play

You've had your fun and now it's time to pay

I'm doing O.K.

Well look at me, I'm doing O.K.

Good, cos'

I'm burning at both ends

Running on spare juice

Living from line to line

I'm burning at both ends

Surviving on borrowed time

Maybe it's me who's doing it wrong

Maybe I'm falling behind

Maybe I'd come to your party

If I was the Hari Kari'ing kind

Sooner or later it'll catch you up

Sooner or later you'll see

You may not be around to disagree

Are you talking to me

You couldn't be talking to me

Good, cos'

[Chorus]
