John Cooper Clark - I Don't Wanna Be Nice Lyrics

I Don't Wanna Be Nice - John Cooper Clark

Here he comes now,

The fast fingers, the expert eyes
And the same old "How d'ya do"
Disgust is just his dumb disguise
He wants a word wi' you

His problems are the end
A mouth needs exercise
The last thing I need is another friend
I don't wanna be nice

I don't want to be nice
I think it's clever to swear
Best seek some sound advice
I will look elsewhere

Your face is an obvious case
I wouldn't put it about
This is neither the time or the space
To sort your problems out

What you see is what you get
You only live twice
A friend in need is a friend in debt
I don't wanna be nice

No, we never met before
I'm very happy to say
Far from perfect strangers
I like to keep it that way

I'm not your psychoanalyst
I'd rather talk to mice
You're so easy to resist
I don't wanna be nice

I don't wanna be nice
I think it's clever to swear
I would seek some sound advice
I would look elsewhere

Your face is an obvious case
I wouldn't put it about
This is neither the time or the place
To sort your problems out

What you see is what you get
You only live twice
A friend in need is a friend in debt
I don't wanna be nice
