Duration: 3 min 19 s
Description: Track 5 from the 2008 album Absynthe Minded.

Absynthe Minded (2008)

Buoyed by an instrumental which recalls the cartoon dubbiness of Gorillaz circa-’19-2000’, ‘Tongue Tied’ seems to announce that it’s party time in Middle England. However, even with the drinks flowing, Middle England’s Lucky Jones still can’t get a handle on one of his biggest hang-ups - basic human interaction.
 
It’s not that he hasn’t got the gift of the gab - the wry lyrical turns here are testament to the fact that Lucky does indeed have the knack in this department. It’s just that, when he’s around other people, words always fail him somehow. It’s all very frustrating, if you know what I mean ...

Lyrics:

Liar liar, lie her down on a bed of nails
Guess I gotta do something
Why am I not setting sail
At the push of a button
Want her data but her WIFI never fails
Can't connect or nothing
Feels like I'm walking on eggshells
And these legs they go down to the bottom
My little eye spies all the details
Yeah I got them
Well bitten gonna put it in my bag of nails
Yeah I got a real problem
Wonder why I'm so shy around females
I can't connect or nothing
Feels like I'm walking on eggshells
And these legs they go down to the bottom

We'll get down to the bottom of them
We'll get down to the bottom
We'll get down to the bottom of them
We'll get down to the bottom
We'll get down to the bottom of them
We'll get down to the bottom
Everybody's got 'em
And everyone wants to get down

Tongue tied
I'm waiting till the moments right
I'll be waiting 'til the morning light
I'm waiting on the other side
You got me tongue tied

So the other day you're looking for me
I should have said something
Couldn't work out what I wanted to be
I thought she was bluffing
Now you're giving me the third degree
Girl, I just wanna say something
Feels like I'm walking on eggshells
And these legs they go down to the bottom

Now you said you never want to hear from me
So how we getting down to the bottom
Now you said you never want to hear from me
So how we getting down to the bottom
Now you said you never want to hear from me
So how we getting down to the bottom
Now you said you never want to hear from me
So how we getting down

Tongue tied
I'm waiting till the moments right
I'll be waiting 'til the morning light
I'm waiting on the other side
You got me tongue tied

I can't get no sleep
It ain't like my life gets too deep
Out of weed, seen 4OD
And all that shit on the BBC
For the last 4 weeks, will I last 4 weeks
Riz-La-Croix Silver, last 4 sheets
Whole new direction in my last 4 beats
Like a fat kid, I'm greedy with my last 4 sweets

But I
I can't get no sleep, ain't like my life gets to deep
I can't get no sleep, ain't like my life gets to deep
I can't get no sleep, ain't like my life gets to deep
I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep

Tongue tied, (I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep)
I'm waiting till the moments right, (I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep)
I'll be waiting 'til the morning light, (I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep)
I'm waiting on the other side, (I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep)
You got me tongue tied

(I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep)
I'm waiting till the moments right, (I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep)
I'll be waiting 'til the morning light, (I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep)
I'm waiting on the other side, (I can't get no sleep, I can't get no sleep)
You got me tongue tied
