We Went Thataway Lyrics - Singles - Glenn Tilbrook

Monkeys dancing on a hot tin tray 

A jaded palette with a fat lip 

I think that we went thataway 

We've given ourselves the slip 

Taking it down yet another peg 

Tightening our belts and girding our loins 

So let's make an omelette of golden eggs 

And you can toss some coins 

Here's half a chance I must be off 

Perhaps I should have gone some time ago 

A long time ago and far away 

I had a dream and still some pride 

Along the way my head was turned 

When the trickle became a tide 

Monkeys dancing on a hot tin tray 

A jaded palette with a fat lip 

I think that we went thataway 

We've given ourselves the slip 

Taking it down yet another peg 

Tightening our belts and girding our loins 

So let's make an omelette of golden eggs 

And you can toss some coins 

I thought, I deserved a little treat 

You should see the looks that I get driving this 

It's not like me but I'm lost for words 

I know I've deceived you endlessly 

I tell everyone that we're good friends 

But the truth is plain for you and me 

Monkeys dancing on a hot tin tray 

A jaded palette with a fat lip 

I think that we went thataway 

We've given ourselves the slip 

Taking it down yet another peg 

Tightening our belts and girding our loins 

So let's make an omelette of golden eggs 

And you can toss some coins 

So this is over get the plot? 

I cannot give what I haven't got 

I've got in touch with the inner me 

And the inner me says that I'm 

Unhappy and should get shot of you 

Monkeys dancing on a hot tin tray 

A jaded palette with a fat lip 

I think that we went thataway 

We've given ourselves the slip 

Taking it down yet another peg 

Tightening our belts and girding our loins 

So let's make an omelette of golden eggs 

And you can toss some coins
