lyrics

Sharing some sour opinions around
It props her up to be putting people down
With second hand stories she takes her aim
An effortless way to stay entertained

Slurring some sleazy details from his past
An ugly attempt to make the lads laugh
With pissed poetic license, ruins a name
At least they can say you've been entertained

Small talk and idle gossip
when you're wrecked in the pub or bored round the office
Bland brutalities and petty impressions
It's really a skill, when there's time to
kill they know what to do
if nothing else
it really helps
to protect themselves by
tearing someone apart

Monday morning's always the same
A fresh set of fools to defame
A story to tell, well haven't you heard
It lightens the mood when there's someone to curse

Saturday night never seem to change
Inebriated tales and enemies to shame
"You wouldn't believe, well guess what she did..."
The party peaks when you finally spit on a reputation

Small talk, glorious gossip
Wrecked in the pub, or bored 'round the office
Bland brutalities and petty impressions
It must be a thrill, when there's time to
kill they know what to do
if nothing else
it really helps
to protect themselves by
tearing someone apart
if nothing else
feel pretty great
more sure of themselves when they're
telling us who to hate.
