The Streets

What Is He Thinking?

I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'

Staring straight and not blinking

He's not giving anything away

What is he thinking?

I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'

Staring straight and not blinking

He's not giving anything away

What is he thinking?

Can't seem to do anything but stare

My C.P coat is lyin' just there

Draped over the edge of that dusty chair

All fits into place suddenly

Yeh my coat was hangin up under my stairs

But one day it went leaving the cupboard bare

The facts all click in and become square

He stole it while I was unaware

But why's he denying it when it's so bate

Looking at the telly, won't look over straight

Why's he not flappin' and explaining away?

To one very fuckin' frustrated mate

Dan's been trustin' every word Scott says

He believes in mates so fair play

But Scott's story is too far outweighed

And I'm gonna act before its too late

I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'

Staring straight and not blinking

He's not giving anything away

What is he thinking?

I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'

Staring straight and not blinking

He's not giving anything away

What is he thinking?

This must all look a bit weird

It's Mike's C.P coat sittin here

Draped over the chair

So that it appears to all fit me up suddenly

And clear i'm gonna have to just try and volunteer

An answer 'bout the man who left the bomber here

He must've picked it up from Mikes dear

Girls house When the weather wasn't clear

The man must've thought it was Simone's coat

We didn't think it was Mike's coat though

I can't just deny it cos my face shows

Lookin at the telly's not aidin', no

I can't tell Mike this man didn't know

And innocently borrowed the coat at Simone's

Cos then Mike would demand to know

Why this man was even at Simone's

That frown could mean anything

What the fuck am I gonna do now?

He know's I'm lyin'

I wish I could read his mind

It's written all over my face

I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'

Staring straight and not blinking

He's not giving anything away

What is he thinking?

I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'

Staring straight and not blinking

He's not giving anything away

What is he thinking?

What the fuck's he saying she had the garm'

Either he has gone John Barnes

Or he's tryin to spin me a con's yarn

He think's he's the fucking don gar

How long have I undergone his smarm?

Shruggin' it all off as fun charm

If he don't stop lookin' at the TV though

I'm gonna wrap the cable round his wee throat

Hang on Scott says Simone had the coat

Where did he see her on the d.low

What is it I don't need to know?

Is he scheming to be near Simone?

In the club I wondered what was on the go

Dan was tryin to keep Scott from being close

And Scott teefed me money and his teefed me coat

And he's trying to steal me girlfriend from under me nose

I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'

Staring straight and not blinking

He's not giving anything away

What is he thinking?

I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'

Staring straight and not blinking

He's not giving anything away

What is he thinking?

Right I can't be bothered with this no more

I'm gonna have to tell him I owe him the score

I wish I could tell him about the dough on the draws

That's somethin' I don't know, I swore

The coat thing will look dodgy loads more

If I don't throw it down as the crow soars

I'd better put the video on pause

Face up toe-to-toe over the floor

He really needs to know how his jacket

Miraculously appeared round my gaff, here

And the man that left it's been shagging

Mike's girl behind Mike's back and thing

This shit's all got a bit out of hand

There's no options I'm all down on plans

I'm jus' gonna have to split it now, man

Tell Mike the person that bought the coat round

Was...................Dan
