Elbow - Bitten By The Tail-fly lyrics

rate me

You're a girl in this vicinity

I'm a dog without a collar on

This cattle-market cabaret

Is the Sabbath every Saturday

I'm full of wit and chivalry

Until you've given in to me

I'm a dog without a collar on

You're a girl in this vicinity

Bitten by the tail-fly

Too many times to change

It's a silent taxi ride away

But it's everything to get you there

You'll know when you are bitten-shy

But still you will return my stare

From a crush of blushing brides-to-be

You barely have a blossom on

Your eyes betray your diaries

I'm a dog without a collar on

I'll take you home

Get you on your own

Sweetness, don't be bashful

Your eyes betray your diaries
