"What was the question again"
"What made you think that there was anything suspicious about it?"
Don't look, don't bring it up, I know what I'm up against,
this is all in self defence, 'cos I need to protect myself,
I need to protect myself like you need to convince yourself,
and if that's what it takes then that's what it takes.
Barry M, my oldest friend, what can you do for me now?
and Clinique, if you could speak, you'd tell me what to do...
Close your eyes and think of Erin O'Connor or pretend I'm Lily Cole,
and I'll imagine you're someone else as well,
And we'll be ok, alright, ok for one night,
we'll be ok, alright, ok for one night,
I need to protect myself like you need to convince yourself,
and if that's what it takes then that's what it takes.
Close your eyes and think of Erin O'Connor or pretend I'm Lily Cole,
and I'll imagine you're someone else as well,
Barry M, my oldest friend, what can you do for me now?
and Clinique, if you could speak, you'd tell me what to do.

And we'll be ok, alright, ok,
we'll me ok, alright, ok
