Take What You TakeLily Allen
A picture paints a thousand words,As one door closes, another door
opens,And two wrongs don't make a right
Now good things come to those who wait,
Take the highs with the lows dear,You'll get what your given and everything's gonna be alright.
Simply what it says- fade into each other.
Make it look like equation – x + x = (tick)
What the f**k do you know?Just cos you're old you think your wise,
But who the hell are you though,I didn't even ask for your advice
You wanna keep your mouth shut,You wanna take your thoughts
elsewhere,Cos you're doing in my nut,
And do you think I care?

1 2 1 + 2 “arguing” against each other in two windows. 1 acts the lines labelled 1 and so
for 2.
[Chorus:]Say what you say,Do what you do
Feel what you feel,As long as it's real.
I said take what you takeAnd give what you giveJust be what you want,Just as long as it's real.
2 people will reel off cards like in the
Bob Dylan video “Subterranean
Homesick Blues” doing alternative lines according to
the numbers on the right.

Now by a horse, I once was toldThat all that glitters is not gold
And all that is to fear is fear itself.This horsey also told me,
I should keep my friends close but my enemies closer,
So as to protect myself.Need to work on what to do
on these lyrics.
However do have a small
idea.
What the f**k do you know?Just cos you're old you think your wise,
But who the hell are you though,I didn't even ask for your advice
You wanna keep your mouth shut,You wanna take your thoughts
elsewhere,Cos you're doing in my nut,
And do you think I care?

AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[Chorus x4]
Will make it so the chorus is not
just repetitive. Perhaps change
colours or view/shot.
