Last Shadow Puppets, The - The Age Of The Understatement lyrics

rate me

Decided

To sneak up away from your stomach

And try your pulse

And captured

What seemed all unknowing and candid

But they suspected it was false

She's playful

The boring would warn you be careful

Of her brigade

In order to tame this relentless marauder

Move away from the parade

And she was walking on the tables in the glass house

Endearingly bedraggled in the wind

Subtle in her method of seduction

The 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

Enlighten them to make you see

And there's affection to rent

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 grow cold
