lyrics

One careful application of taste
I know it will stick
I know you won't wait
Had the hem on the way in
Let her down on the way out
I saw the green brim
Very Scandinavian, well-chosen
You know they bleach oak
Oh God, what have we done?
Apply the dye to your hair
There and there and not there

Suffered four heavy losses
And made a poem of them
I know they're coming
See my good side
Taste is a shallow actor
Taste is a shallow actor
It's an easy come back
We have a cause
We have a calling
All I know is where and when to say the right thing
Taste is a shallow actor
It's a minor player
It's no loving counsel
It's no cure for night terror
It's a converted chapel
It's a modest truth
It's a shallow actor
I've been asking after
I know they're coming
See my good side
Taste is a shallow actor
Taste is a shallow actor
I have one thing left
Taste
It's too young a being
It stops you seeing
Taste is a shallow actor
Taste is a shallow act
Taste is a shallow actor

One careful application of taste
I know it will stick
I know you won't wait
