[Verse 1]
The baby's sleeping in the crib on top
The baby's sleeping above you
You will lift him to the parking lot
Your car is waiting there for you
Your car is waiting there for you

[Pre-Chorus]
I would like to see a little more propriety
Cooperate with me and answer me
Without a plea

[Chorus]
I know now, I know now, I know now
I'm never gonna tell on you
I know now, I know now, I know now
I'm never gonna tell on you

[Verse 2]
The whiskey's waiting on the firetop
The baby's going to drink too
The lady's got no clue; she's at the shop
But if she'd knew then she'd kill you
The bugs are out cause they come out at night
Usually they just bite our hands
'Cause normally we have clothes on without a fight
But now fighting's a part of baby's romance
But now fighting's a part of baby's romance

[Pre-Chorus]
I would like to see a little more propriety
Cooperate with me and answer me
Without a plea

[Chorus]
I know now, I know now, I know now
I'm never gonna tell on you
I know now, I know now, I know now
I'm never gonna tell on you

[Verse 3]
Baby sleeps against graveyard flower pots
The baby's sleeping up against you
I think he'd prefer an old motel cot
Or any bed made without you
Or any bed made without you

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd like to see a little more propriety
Cooperate with me and answer me
Without a plea
I would like to see a little more propriety
Cooperate with me and answer me
Without a plea

[Chorus]
I know now, I know now, I know now
I'm never gonna tell on you
I know now, I know now, I know now
I'm never gonna tell on you
I know now, I know now, I know now
I'm never gonna tell on you
I know now, I know now, I know now
I'm never gonna tell on you
I'm never gonna tell on you
I'm never gonna tell on you

Chris Garneau entered the New York music scene in 2006 with his debut album Music for Tourists, first released on Absolutely Kosher Records. He was brought to the label by Jamie Stewart and Caralee McElroy of Xiu Xiu. The album was later released in Europe and Asia. Vincent Moon shot Garneau in his Take-Away Show series which earned the singer-songwriter worldwide visibility, and special attention in France where the session was shot.

Garneau later released C-Sides EP (2007), El Radio LP (2009), and Winter Games LP (2013) on various labels in North America, Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, and Brazil — markets where he has toured extensively and shared the stage with Xiu Xiu, Jose Gonzalez, Keren Ann, My Brightest Diamond, Joan as Policewoman, Camera Obscura, among many others. Garneau opened for Charlotte Gainsbourg at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2010.

He has also landed over 30 synch placements for film, television, and advertising (including Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, Dream Corp LLC, and others). His cover of Elliott Smith’s ‘Between the Bars’ was featured in Pedro Almodóvar’s ‘The Skin I Live In’.
