GETTING AWAY WITH IT (ALL MESSED UP)

First released 2001

Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) was previewed on the 2000 Autumn tour under the title Daniel's Saving Grace.

It started life as an upbeat romp and is apparently one of Tim's favourites on the Pleased To Meet You album and very similar in style to 80s classic unreleased track Gregory's Town.

It has since been slowed down and was released as the first single reaching number 22.

LYRICS

Are you aching for the blade?

That's OK

We're insured

Are you aching for the grave?

That's OK

We're insured

We're getting away with it, all messed up

Getting away with it, all messed up 

That's the living

Daniel's saving grace

She's out in deep water

Hope he's a good swimmer

Daniel plays his ace

Deep inside his temple

He knows how to surf her

Getting away with it, all messed up

Getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

Getting away with it, all messed up

Getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

Daniel drinks his weight

Drinks like Richard Burton

Dances like John Travolta

Now

Daniel's saving grace

He was all for drowning

Now they live like dolphins

We're getting away with it, all messed up

Getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

We're getting away with it, all messed up

We're getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

We're getting away with it, all messed up

We're getting away with it, all messsed up

That's the living

Are we getting away with it?

All messed up

Getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

Getting away with it

We're getting away with it

That's the living

That's the living
