The Go-Betweens - Ask lyrics

ask he said, and ask is what I did

a tone of plea for everything you get

and I feel too much has been made

of my fault, I don't call a spade

ask he said, ask for what you need

don't be shy, shyness is a little girl

and I feel if you're scolded like a child

all your elders, were once scolded too

we're just

no eyes, just ends

we're just friends

shut it, shut it...

shut it, shut it...

don't shut it don't shut it don't shut it

don't shut it don't shut it don't shut it

don't you care ---- just pull in

ask he said, it's how you get advice

and more than that it's talking to them

there is magic but really there's no magic

in what appears

I get quiet, I feel it all the while

no one's touched me for such a long time

and I get wounds she bathes them in salt

never to open lightning with a bolt

ask he said, and don't ever suppose

if you don't ask then nobody knows

we're just

some eyes it's not

were just old friends

shut it, shut it...

shut it, shut it...

don't shut it don't shut it don't shut it

don't shut it don't shut it don't shut it

don't you care
