  • Banging on my tambourine,
    I didn't think I'd make a scene
    Until everyone joined in the chase,
    I never meant to make you cry,
    My head was floating in the sky,
    And nothing looked to be out of place

    I've got my head like a cello,
    Melancholy bows,
    If it goes, keep it mellow, baby,
    Should I pay attention to the alarm,
    The sirens going off in a police car

    I forget, I forget to be cool, cool, cool
    I try my best to not get arrested by you, you, you

    I thought that I could plinky-plonk
    Along the piano wall I wanted,
    Didn't think you'd hear a wrong note,
    I'm like a pencil load and blunt,
    And writing in a bolder font,
    And I'm steady losing your boat

    And I forget, I forget to be cool, cool, cool
    I try my best to not get arrested by you, you, you

    I've got my head like a cello,
    Melancholy bows,
    If it goes, keep it mellow, baby,
    Should I pay attention to the alarm,
    The sirens going off in a police car

    And I forget, I forget to be cool, cool, cool
    I try my best to not get arrested by you, you, you

    I forget, I forget to be cool, cool, cool
    I try my best to not get arrested by you, you, you Writer/s: CRAIGIE DODDS, ELIZA SOPHIE CAIRD
