Taken Out of Context

If you take too many words I say out of context,
You will go out of your mind,
If you take too many words I say out of context,
You will run out of patience,
If you take too many words I say out of context,
You are may be out of focus.
If you take too many words I say out of context,
You could end up on the lonely side of the street. 

But if you look at the whole  picture,
You will find no need to text,
But if you look at the whole picture,
You will see a image more clear,
But if you look at the whole picture,
You will get a clearer image of who the producer is.
But if you look at the whole picture, 
You may see an improved context.

Me too. It is almost impossible to get an accurate comment in the media. It is often those outside the loop who are problem who do not understand what the word banter means. Few other countries understand the relationship between NZ and Australia.
