Bending The Rules Again - Pennebaker

Line them up and I’ll take them all straight

I’ve got no one left to fool

I’m getting used to the usual stakes

I’ve got nothing left to prove

I had it all but I used it all up

as if I had the lot for free

despite the fall I’d do it again

I’m hanging on

There’s nothing quite good as bending the rules

the feeling of having it all for once

the bitterest pill is mine to take

but that’s alright

There’s nothing quite good as bending the rules

the feeling of having it all for once

the bitterest pill is mine to take

but that’s alright

Rack them up and I spot them out straight

there are things I’d never touch

though I’m used to bending the rules

I would never let you down

I’ve had a few but I used them all up

as if had them all for free

despite the hurt I’d do it again

I’m hanging on

There’s nothing quite good as bending the rules

the feeling of having it all for once

the bitterest pill is mine to take

but that’s alright

There’s nothing quite good as bending the rules

the feeling of having it all for once

the bitterest pill is mine to take

but that’s alright

There’s a light that only shines

for a while to fade away

I know the pill is mine to take

but that’s alright

There’s nothing quite good as bending the rules

the feeling of having it all for once

the bitterest pill is mine to take

but that’s alright

There’s nothing quite good as bending the rules

the feeling of having it all for once

the bitterest pill is mine to take

but that’s alright
