lyrics

I've got a habit of breaking in to song,
When everything starts going wrong,
I've got a habit of breaking into life,
Or a least an approximation there-of.
-------------------------------------
Well I know that I'm a man with so many fine qualities,
& I know it seems a shame to only to pick one to justify me,
-------------------------------------
I've got a way with words, I get away with words that barely make the sentence work.
I've got the gig in the bag, I've got a gig in a bag, I better find some coins in there.
-------------------------------------
Well I know that I'm a man with so many inconsistencies,
& I know it seems a shame to only pick one to justify me,
-------------------------------------
Coz I'm not just a passable face,
Coz I've got a personality that's sick to the taste,
& I know I am out of luck.
I'm not just a passable face,
Coz my failure is an action that's so close I can taste (it),
& I know I............am out of luck.
-------------------------------------
(P)ossible habits include
(A)cting like I'm
(S)omebody, but
(S)sombody's not my name.
(A)sking for good advice,
(B)ecause I like to add vice,
(L)aughing ain't no fun if
(E)verybody's sincere.
----------------------------------
Well I know that I'm a man with so many fine qualities,
& well, I know it seems a shame to only to pick one to justify me,
-----------------------------------
I'm not just a passable face,
Coz I've got a personality that's sick to the taste,
& I know I am out of luck.
I'm not just a passable face,
Coz my failure is an action that's so close I can taste (it),
& I know I............am out of luck.
