## Lyrics

[Intro]

Now this next song is so fucking important to me

It talks about an issue that needs to remain in the forefront of our minds

So we can stamp it the fuck out

This songs called Polygraph Eyes

[Verse 1: *Spoken*]

She leaves her parents house around midnight

Meets her best mate at the shop, buys some cheap wine

And go to space, see the Milky Way

Get away from the teenage everyday cliché pressure

Absent on absinthe, dancing to bad synths

Saturday night ain't about romancing anymore

Just you getting lit in the queue to the dance floor

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Too many blokes are getting heavy

When a girl looks unsteady

Blisters on your bleeding soles

"Here have my boots, I'll walk you home"

He walks her straight up to the front door

As she stumbles on the floor

We all know what happens next

A bit of fun turns to regret

[Chorus]

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no

Leave it alone mate, she doesn't want to go home with ya

[Verse 2: *Spoken*]

Daylight wakes her up the next morning

A foreign room where the sheets are blue, and not white

No scented candles in sight

Just a stranger on his side, says, "Cheers love for last night"

Got to go forensic, avoid the domestic

Get antiseptic and give him the polygraph eyes

So, turn your head to the side and lie to the- *let's go!*

[Pre-Chorus 2]

See this girl, she had a boyfriend

His name was Zack and he made her happy

But he couldn't understand

In his mind, she was a slag

When she tried to explain what happened

She was shouting at him for an hour

Crying at the top of her lungs

"Don't leave me here, you're the one I love"

[Chorus]

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya

[Bridge: *Audience*, **Spoken**]

And she can't even run, she can't even walk

She slurs when she speaks

But you hear what you want when she can't even talk

She can't even run, she can't even walk

She slurs when she speaks

She can't even talk, *she can't even talk*

She can't even talk, **with me!**

[Chorus: *Audience*]

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to *go home with ya, home with ya, no*

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya

Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no

(Leave it alone, mate

She doesn't want to go home with ya)

[Outro: *Backing track*, **Spoken**]

*(Leave it alone, mate)* She can't even run

*(Leave it alone, mate)* She can't even walk

*(Leave it alone, mate)* And no, she can't even talk

*(Leave it alone, mate)* She can't even run

*(Leave it alone, mate)* She can't even walk

*(Leave it alone, mate)*, *(Leave it alone, mate)*

No, she can't even talk, she can't even talk

She can't even talk, she can't even talk

No, she can't even talk

**Thank you so much, man**

**You make me so fucking happy, man**

**Are you all ready to jump?**
