Daily Reckless

The Guy Who Hit Me In The Eye
(Flansburgh/Linnell/Mackay)
by
They Might Be Gannets

Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?
Aren't you the guy who slugged me?

Couldn't make him out from a distance
Could've been aggressive or fey
You have to find the measure of someone
I simply had to ask anyway

Could've just ignored my conscience
Could've easy walked on by
But I have to renew acquaintances
Even ones who give me black eyes

Take it on the chin like a bully
Take it on the chin like a man
Try to really concentrate fully
Or take it in the face if you can

(from the album Fingertips)
