Horslips - More Than You Can Chew lyrics

rate me

Perhaps the best known Irish March, The March of the King of Laois, forms<br />

The basic melodic structure of this song - a warning to Maeve from<br />

Cu Chulainn.<br />

People say you're dressed to kill.<br />

You're not a girl to come on slow.<br />

Once you get the bit between your teeth<br />

You don't feel like letting go.<br />

But before you hit off<br />

Let me say you've bit off<br />

More than you can chew.<br />

I recall just how you laughed,<br />

And you tried to make a fool of me.<br />

How you thought you could get away<br />

Without me knowing is hard to see.<br />

Though things may look doubtful,<br />

You've got yourself a mouthful<br />

More than you can chew.<br />

You can give me back my pride<br />

And I will trade you all that's due.<br />

Cos like a spider I'm creeping back<br />

Gonna spin my web all over you.<br />

And if you take it in haste<br />

You're gonna waste<br />

Aah you can't taste<br />

More than you can chew.
