Lyrics
I been licking my wounds
Experiencing emotional pain and distress
Sick of holding my tongue
Tired of restraining oneself or keeping silent
I been sweating my way up those blue hills
Struggling and working hard to progress
Now I'm taking the plunge
Now deciding to take a significant risk
I been stealing my nerves
Building up courage or confidence
And I'm breaking a lot of wishbones
Taking chances or risks, hoping for good luck
Hope I'm displaying manly virtue
Trying to demonstrate traditional masculine qualities
Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew
Concerned about taking on more than one can handle
Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?
Expressing a desire for knowledge or certainty
Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?
-I been speaking out of turn
Speaking at inappropriate times
Feel invincible behind that silver fern
Feeling powerful or strong behind a national symbol
And I'm full of a bittersweet anger
Experiencing mixed feelings of bitterness and sadness
Sick of meaningful dialogue
Tired of deep or meaningful conversations
I been playing the high and mighty
Behaving arrogantly
Now I'm trying to act my age
Attempting to act more maturely
I been making up for lost time
Trying to make up for lost opportunities
Hope I'm cooking my goose for the very last time
Hoping to rectify past mistakes for the last time
Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?
Reiterating the desire for knowledge or certainty
Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?
-Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?
-Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?
-It would be nice to know
-It would be nice to know
-It would be nice to know
-Would be nice to know
-I been licking my wounds
Experiencing emotional pain and distress (repeated)
Sick of holding my tongue
Tired of restraining oneself or keeping silent (repeated)
I been sweating my way up those blue hills
Struggling and working hard to progress (repeated)
Now I'm taking the plunge
Now deciding to take a significant risk (repeated)

And I'm breaking a lot of wishbones

-Oh wouldn't it be nice to know?
