Tenterhook Lyrics - Rip It Up - Orange Juice

And though I stood on tenterhooks 

I still took one last lingering look 

And there was so much left unsaid 

But as they say, you makes your bed 

But as they say, you makes your bed 

Yes, my sheets were always freshly laundered 

Together, you and I have changed the world 

As long as there was no blood spilt 

On my fresh white sheets 

I'm fit as a fiddle but so non-commital 

It's all I can do to stifle a smile 

It's all I can do to stifle a smile 

When you tell me Old Mother Earth's turning senile 

Mother Earth keeps turning and turning 

While, of course, our young hearts are yearning 

And when you tell me 

You tell me 

Oh when you tell me 

You tell me 

Don't make any bones about it 

You just tell me
