There's a hole in my head where the words come out

And it sometimes digs a hole for itself

No matter how hard I try I find

I'm wishing that I'd said something else to You

So don't always take me at my word

'Cause sometimes I'm talking to my past

And I've only got four teeth

I could say what you want me to say

If I knew what it was at the time

But I'm just a normal guy you know

Trying too hard to be anything but

So don't always take me at my word

'Cause sometimes I'm talking to my past

So don't always take me at my word

'Cause sometimes I'm talking to my past

And I've only got four teeth

Instrumental

So don't always take me at my word

'Cause sometimes I'm talking to my past

So don't always take me at my word

'Cause sometimes I'm talking to my past

And I've only got four teeth

I've only got four teeth

The Story of 'Four Teeth'

Four Teeth

This is an ode to my partner at the time. It sometimes felt like I only had a few teeth in my head so I couldn't pronounce words properly or something.

Anyway, I was misheard, or said the wrong thing, or was misunderstood, or failed to communicate in the best way...

I'm sure we've all been there at some time or other, hitting an impass between what was said or meant and what was heard or understood, it can be very frustrating!

It can really feel like you've only got four teeth!

And interestingly, we do all only have four (types) of teeth, so there's a bit of a play on words too ;)
