Can't Do Right For Doing Wrong Lyrics - Singles - Wildhearts

it's the strangest feeling ever 

you keep trying your best but it's just an arrested endeavour 

so you buckle up, (to) face the day, and try to make the ever grey like heaven, like heaven 

but it's not too easy, when you think [you've got it cos/you got to kill] somebody 

gotta be a joker and keep up a little Eurochat, 

and stick an eager fang into a talk of Coronation Street, well, 

you know how it is 

CHORUS: 

well, you've been out of you're seat for way too long 

you've got to get your trainer tapping to a different song 

you know I can't do right for doing wrong, oh no 

so it's best, to relax,(and) get drunk 

then the guys at the fire remind you that you've been a cun-t 

({Ritch?:} well, I've done wrong for a start) 

if you open your mouth, the truth comes out 

and no one likes to hear that sort of stuff so it's best just to relax and shut up 

({Danny?:} yeah, that's the best plan, {Ritch?:} no, that ain't never right 

{Ginger:} yeah, that's the best thing to do) 

Cut to someone laughing and a joke he heard before, but he don't 

want to be unpopular because he's got a big Cortina. 

Like to stick a pen into his shitty little grin and you know, that would be funny 

CHORUS: 

well, you'll be away from it all and you don't belong 

unless your cock gets hard at a football song 

you know I can't do right for doing wrong 

{magic roundabout- type chords} 

out of your seat, get (x4) 

back in your seat, get (x4) 

back among the things that we let gather [........] 

it isn't what your knowing, it's a case of who you're blowing 

get your phallus to communicate, you got to take it to the case 

so socially they'll let you be, so long as we can copulate 

you want to be a big shot, you'd better stop by saying 

(I can't do right for doing wrong) 

yes please, stash, get my fingers in your pants 

(I can't do right for doing wrong) 

I'm gonna lick it too, and suck a few, and just give me a chance 

(I can't do right for doing wrong) 

I'll be a good dog, prick me and you'll never be [been retired a-chemical wide] 

(I can't do right for doing wrong, can't do right for doing wrong) 

yeah, yeah, open wide... (you know I) can't do right for doing wrong (x3) 

no, no, no I can't... (you know I) can't do right for doing wrong (x8) 

no, no, no I can't... (x3+)
