How Wrong Can You Be? Songtext
von Lloyd Cole

I paid the full lip service to the repercussions
Which is to say, I weighed the risk/reward
But who can budget for a fallout of these proportions?
Take your shot, it′s what you're paying for
Nobody said, you′re getting away with murder
Here smiling to the hidden camera
With your friend
She didn't ask if we were on or off the record
Or what that may or what that may not mean
When you went away, I thought that I was free
How wrong can you be? How wrong can you be?
Fortune hits the wall and the whole five hundred fall
How wrong can you be? How wrong can you be?


I didn't see it at the time, it was a conflict of interest
A pretty girl at the wheel of a German car
It isn′t hard to surrender to market forces
Take your seat, become the passenger
Nobody said, we′re getting away with murder
No looking in the rear-view mirror
Foot to the floor
She didn't say, I′m working for the competition
A pretty girl at the wheel of a German car
When you went away, I thought that I was free
How wrong can you be? How wrong can you be?
Fortune hits the wall and the whole five hundred fall
How wrong can you be? How wrong can you be?
