Grace Petrie - Overheard lyrics

How've you been? It's been a long time
Since you've been in i've not seen you round
And how's your work? And how's your singing?
I've been looking out for your name

And then your tongue slips
And my throat sticks
And our friendship is just so sensitive
And racist jokes from funny blokes
You know, some folks are just so sensitive
And I wish I had argued but
You're the one with my throat to the blade
Yeah, long-live the PC brigade

And I think you're quite a nice guy
And I think you quite like me too
And I'm sure the idea that you've hurt me
Would be embarrassing to you

And it's not your fault that
I didn't call you out
And ask you not to use that word
But, I think all that would achieve
Is next time you would check
To see you're not overheard

And how've you been? It's been a long time
Since you've been in i've not seen you round
And how's your work?
Yeah, how are you keeping?
Same old, same old we gotta make a pound

But then your tongue slips
And my throat sticks
And our friendship is just so sensitive
Racist jokes from funny blokes
You know, some folks are just so sensitive
And I wish I could tell you why
The things that you say make me afraid
Yeah, long-live the PC brigade

And I think you're quite a nice guy
And I think you quite like me too
And I'm sure the idea that you've hurt me
Would be embarrassing to you

And it's not your fault that
I didn't call you out
And ask you not to use that word
But, I think all that would achieve
Is next time you would check
To see you're not overheard overheard
Overheard overheard
