Where is your sense of occasion?
A pregnant pause
A pregnant pause
Timing is everything
I'll show you the ropes

Even the best-laid plans are not what they used to be
A bird in the hand is not what it was

Well it's all for your benefit
All for your benefit
I've been a heel
I've been a credit to all of the liars I stood on to get here
Timing is everything
I'll show you the ropes

Dig in
Dig in
No money up front
No questions asked
Dig in
Dig in
Stick to the script and I will cover our backs

I suggest you tread very carefully
I suggest you tread very carefully indeed
If you can't keep a good man down
You'd better hope you have something he needs

Show me the proof
Show me your heart's in it
I'll get it straight if you give me a minute
I said I'd make you all proud if you'd let me finish
I don't think they're listening anyway

Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
I have said my piece
And I have played the game
But if it's all the same to you
I will slip between the gaps again

Dig in
Dig in
No money up front
No questions asked
Dig in
Dig in
Stick to the script and I will cover our backs
Dig in
Dig in
I have no shame
No golden path
Dig in
Dig in
Dig in
Dig in again

Dig in
Dig in
Timing is everything
I'll show you the ropes
Dig in
Dig in
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Dig in
Dig in
Timing is everything
I'll show you the ropes
Dig in
Dig in
Timing is everything
I'll show you the ropes
