The Age Of The Understatement + Used To Be My Girl (Live at Sziget Festival 2016)
Decided to sneak off Away from your stomach and try your pulse You captured what seemed all unknowing and candid But they suspected it was false
Shes playful, the boring would warn you Be careful of her brigade In order to tame this relentless marauder Move away from the parade
She was walking on the tables in the glasshouse And verily bedraggled in the wind Subtle in her method of seduction Twenty little tragedies begin
And she would throw a feather boa in the road If she thought that it would set the scene Unfittingly dipped into your companions Enlightened them to make you see
And theres affection to end The age of the understatement Before the attraction ferments Kiss me properly and pull me apart
Affection to rent The age of the understatement Before this attraction ferments Kiss me properly and pull me apart
And my fingers scratch at my hair Before my mind can get too reckless The idea of seeing you here Is enough to make the sweat go cold
Colour pictures of re-entry Voices calling down the hall I wanted you to know You're the only one that bent me This far out of shape Don't make no mistake I'm a liar, I'm a cheat A leech, a thief The outside looks no good and there ain't nothing underneath Darling can't you see My heart melted in the heat My heart melted in the heat like yours
First impressions of the century Two way mirror one way street Good cop bad cop routine Black-light animal print boogie Left in a heap A kiss on either cheek I'm a phoney, I'm a fake A fraud, a snake Gimme all your love so I can fill you up with hate Girl I'm in a state My heart melted yesterday My heart melted yesterday like yours
The odyssey Came down kind of hard on me The here and now so suddenly Became a different world Finally I slipped out of reality It must all be imaginary She used to be my girl
Used to be my girl Used to be my girl Used to be my girl Used to be my girl
