Disc: Pablo Honey
Tablature: Guitar

Other Versions:
Manic Hedgehog Version - Manic Hedgehog demo tape

Originally featured on the band's On A Friday 'Manic Hedgehog Demo'. It was altered slightly from the version on Pablo Honey. This is simple tune about lacking confidence. The band has rarely played it live, though in my opinion it's one of the best tracks on the album. The guitars are harsh, and at times seem to be making noise rather than music. But I like the song overall, and the lyrics are far from bad.

Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasn't me, it was my strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And there's nothing in this world will keep it down

And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't

Soon your things that keep, that keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find
If you give up on me now
I'll be gutted like I've never been before

And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't

If you give up on me now
I'll be gutted like I've never been before

And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
