an acoustic, jazz, then electric guitar were used to give snake the variation
Of rhythm sounds needed to match the vocal mood swings! everything just seems
To build and buildas each verse takes you through the different stages of a
not-so-good relationship. well, this was my story a while back and Im sure a
Few of you can relate!
You were the world to me, I thought that I would always be there for you
I was too blind to see, I would have clibed the highest mountain for you
You gave me something to hope for, you made me feel like new
But tonight its over and were through, and were through
I guess youve taken me for granted
Youve filled my world full of lies
I want to know, give me some answers
But you cant even look me in the eye
Well Ive taken all the shit I will take from you
And Ive only just begun to see the light
Youre just a big disgrace
Turn around, get out of my face
Youve got no fuckin class
Reptile, youre a snake in the grass
All the times we had together
Were they real or just a fantasy
So tell me why I wasnt good enough for you
Just maybe youre not good enough for me
Well Ive taken all the shit I will take from you
And Ive only just begun to see the light
Youve been running around, having fun with anyone
I dont believe you have the right
Why, tell me why youre crying
Youve brought this on yourelf
Lie, tell me why youre lying
Its time to put you on your shelf
Looks like Ive taken you for granted
And Ive seen right through your disguise
Tomorrows going to be a better day for me
You can find someone else to victimise
Well Ive taken all the shit I will take from you
And Ive only just begun to see the light
Youve been running around, having fun with anyone
I dont believe you have the right
Why, tell me why youre crying
Youve brought this on yourelf
Lie, tell me why youre lying
Its time to put you on your shelf
Well Ive taken all the shit I will take from you
And Ive only just begun to see the light
Youve been running around, having fun with anyone
I dont believe you have the right
