podlingEven though I've listened to this and other songs too, it's stuck in my head for DAYS now. So, I bring you "Loose Tongue" by Neil Finn. Lyrics yanked from http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Comet/8378/NF/NEIL_FINN.htm (which seems to be the only lyrics site with the full lyrics to the song, odd the frenz site doesn't)

LOOSE TONGUE
(Neil Finn / Jim Moginie)
Remember my loose tongue
Forget what I just said
I'd crawl over broken glass
If we could start again
Before our plans were made
When the world was young
The house is falling down
Because of my loose tongue
Shouldn't say so much
Shouldn't talk so loud
No sooner on your lips
Than it's all over town
In all our given days
How many gone to waste
A good man has been hung
Because of my loose tongue
Your skin is changing it's hue
Your guard is coming down fast
Looks like someone I knew
Uncovered happiness at last
All the wagging tongues
Too much information
In the future now
Under massive doubt
The papers on the street
Get trampled under feet
And they settled for a princely sum
Goodwill is coming down
And when it rains
Your well is full
Well you shouldn't ask me, you shouldn't ask me,
You want the real story, you shouldn't ask me,
You better find someone else with the house key.
You know the pressure on his personal life,
You know the man's walking on the edge of a knife,
Tales keep going and nose keeps growing,
And after sometime you forget what you know,
Now I feel I'm getting caught with a psycho sycophant,
Now it's feeling like a kid shouting tin can,
Got the poor man nailed to the floor,
And that's not nothing you want me for.
---------------------------------------------------
Actually, the phrase "psycho sycophant" is just so great! I can't stop trying to use it in conversation, but it's really hard to do, especially in a business setting...
