Frank Turner - Imperfect Tense Lyrics
Naked and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor,
Somewhere in the City
Three days no sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore
Drenched in sweat and self-pity now, it's not a pretty sight
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
So won't you be my present sense
Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time
To come down off this murderous medication
Trying to remember, my reasons for running myself
into the ground with such dedication
What to say in my defense, I was imperfect tense
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
Cos it's not meant to be
I am lost at sea
So mermaids sing to me
Of the better times and the things that can be
Like the diamonds in the Mediterranean sea
Or the beatings and sleeping and times that I took
And of washing the drink and the drugs from my blood
And I've nothing to say in my defense
I'm far from perfect I'm still tense
They say that love can change you once
Please say that love can change me once
Come on change me

Frank Turner Imperfect Tense Comments
I recorded a Piano based Cover Version of Imperfect Tense. You find it on my channel.
wow such balance
Wish Frank would go back to these days.. I like his new stuff, but it just doesn't feel the same any more and I don't know why, anyone else feel this?
His older songs seem a bit more raw compared to his new more polished kinda stuff?
+Becky Y Totally agree, he's also "paying the bills" as we say in the music industry; his newer stuff is geared more towards a pop audience to sell more records to in the end make more money. All musicians do it. His writing is still incredible thankfully. Love his stuff. Hope to catch him on concert soon
I don't know how many times I said this...just genius ! For me one of the greatest musicians ever.
This is a rock out version to the imperfect tense, I've got my own little version.. heh
wow you are one dumb fuck, ya know that mate? Do you by any chance like getting trampled by lots and lots of angry FT fans??? No! I didn't think so.....
@skakky and this is a good one :D
This reminds me of New Model Army. Love NMA and I Love Frank.
