Can't Do Right for Doing Wrong - The Wildhearts

It’s the strangest feeling ever

You keep trying your best but it’s just an arrested endeavour

So you buckle up, face the day

And try to make the ever-grey like heaven, like heaven

But it’s all too easy, when you think you gotta kill somebody

Gotta be a joker and keep up a little Eurochat and

Stick your eager fang into a drunken Coronation Street, well

You know how it is?

Well, you’ve been out of your 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, get drunk

Then the guys amplify and remind you that you’ve been a cunt

(Well, that don’t rhyme 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

(Yeah, that’s the best one!

No, that ain’t never right

Yeah, that’s the best thing to do)

Cut to someone laughing at 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

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

Out of your seat, get

Out of your seat, get

Out of your seat, get

Out of your seat, get

Back in your seat, get

Back in your seat, get

Back in your seat, get

Back in your seat, get

Back among the things that we like, got a treat on the top

It isn’t what you’re knowing, it’s a case of who you’re blowing

Get your policy communicate, you’ve got your ticket to the case

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

You wanna be a big shot?

You better not start by saying

(I can’t do right for doing wrong)

Yes please, stash, got my fingers in your pants

(I can’t do right for doing wrong)

I’m gonna lick until I’m sick if you would 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 needing a dog again

(I can’t do right for doing wrong)

Open wide

(I can’t do right for doing wrong)

Yeah, yeah, open wide

(You know I can’t do right for doing wrong)

Yeah, yeah, open wide

(You know I can’t do right for doing wrong)

Yeah, yeah, open wide

(I can’t do right for doing wrong)

No, no, no I can’t

(I can’t do right for doing wrong)

No, no, no I can’t

(You know I can’t do right for doing wrong)

No, no, no I can’t

(You know I can’t do right for doing wrong)

No, no, no I can’t

(Can't do right for doing wrong)

No, no, no I can’t

(Can't do right for doing wrong)

No, no, no I can’t

(Can't do right for doing wrong)

No, no, no I can’t

(I can’t do right for doing wrong)

No, no, no I can’t

No, no, no I can’t…
