Convention

Lyrics of Convention by Julia Jacklin

Verse

Do you really wanna give him the microphone?

You know that he′ll keep talking long after everyone's gone home

We′ll have to pay to keep the lights on

And that bill will arrive just when all our savings have gone

Can I say something, can I give advice?

Just hit the main switch so we can sleep well tonight

Verse

My social standing got me six rows from the front

And my dinner companion was a little drunk

Says he buys the paper but he reads between the lines

"I can show you how I do it, why don't you come back to mine?"

Oh please say something, I'm dying for your advice

I can tell you won′t sleep well if

You don′t teach me how to do it right

Outro

Call me a ride, I can't walk home

Can′t stand the pain from these shoes I've now outgrown
