What Is He Thinking?

Lyrics

He's fucking lying, I know he is
 It's written all over his face
 I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'
 Staring straight and not blinking
 He's not giving anything away
 What is he thinking? (What is he thinking?)
 I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'
 Staring straight and not blinking
 He's not giving anything away
 What is he thinking? (What is he thinking?)
 Can't seem to do anything but stare
 My C.P coat is lyin' just there
 Draped over the edge of that dusty chair
 All fits into place suddenly
 Yeh my coat was hangin up under my stairs
 But one day it went leaving the cupboard bare
 The facts all click in and become square
 He stole it while I was unaware
 But why's he denying it when it's so bate
 Looking at the telly, won't look over straight
 Why's he not flappin' and explaining away?
 To one very fuckin' frustrated mate
 Dan's been trustin' every word Scott says
 He believes in mates so fair play
 But Scott's story is too far outweighed
 And I'm gonna act before its too late
 I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'
 Staring straight and not blinking
 He's not giving anything away
 What is he thinking? (What is he thinking?)
 I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'
 Staring straight and not blinking
 He's not giving anything away
 What is he thinking? (What is he thinking?)
 This must all look a bit weird
 It's Mike's C.P coat sittin here
 Draped over the chair
 So that it appears to all fit me up suddenly
 And clear i'm gonna have to just try and volunteer
 An answer 'bout the man who left the bomber here
 He must've picked it up from Mikes dear
 Girls house When the weather wasn't clear
 The man must've thought it was Simone's coat
 We didn't think it was Mike's coat though
 I can't just deny it cos my face shows
 Lookin at the telly's not aidin', no
 I can't tell Mike this man didn't know
 And innocently borrowed the coat at Simone's
 Cos then Mike would demand to know
 Why this man was even at Simone's
 That frown could mean anything
 What the fuck am I gonna do now? He know's I'm lyin'
 I wish I could read his mind
 It's written all over my face
 I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'
 Staring straight and not blinking
 He's not giving anything away
 What is he thinking? (What is he thinking?)
 I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'
 Staring straight and not blinking
 He's not giving anything away
 What is he thinking? (What is he thinking?)
 What the fuck's he saying she had the garm'
 Either he has gone John Barnes
 Or he's tryin to spin me a con's yarn
 He think's he's the fucking don gar
 How long have I undergone his smarm?
 Shruggin' it all off as fun charm
 If he don't stop lookin' at the TV though
 I'm gonna wrap the cable round his wee throat
 Hang on Scott says Simone had the coat
 Where did he see her on the d.low
 What is it I don't need to know?
 Is he scheming to be near Simone?
 In the club I wondered what was on the go
 Dan was tryin to keep Scott from being close
 And Scott teefed me money and his teefed me coat
 And he's trying to steal me girlfriend from under me nose
 I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'
 Staring straight and not blinking
 He's not giving anything away
 What is he thinking? (What is he thinking?)
 I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'
 Staring straight and not blinking
 He's not giving anything away
 What is he thinking? (What is he thinking?)
 Right I can't be bothered with this no more
 I'm gonna have to tell him I owe him the score
 I wish I could tell him about the dough on the draws
 That's somethin' I don't know, I swore
 The coat thing will look dodgy loads more
 If I don't throw it down as the crow soars
 I'd better put the video on pause
 Face up toe-to-toe over the floor
 He really needs to know how his jacket
 Miraculously appeared round my gaff, here
 And the man that left it's been shagging
 Mike's girl behind Mike's back and thing
 This shit's all got a bit out of hand
 There's no options I'm all down on plans
 I'm jus' gonna have to split it now, man
 Tell Mike the person that bought the coat round
 Was... Dan
