MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA - Slow To Learn lyrics

rate me

She's in the corner dealing the cards

She looks around and round

And slowly puts her poker face on

She's such a tease, a tease

It's just about the one thing she knows

The only way to get the certain thing she already owns

You know she always gets them somehow by the way that she moves

It's how she's reaching the goal

The goal is finally scored

But she is never alone

She looks again at her watch

Watch her as she will pretend

That she is harmless and nice

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

No, no

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

No, no

She's baffled but she swears she's secure

The insecurity has gone and gotten the best of her

The best has yet to come

We know just how the story will end

We know about the drinks, the smokes,

And half an hour boyfriends

You think they really love you

Loving in this case is the cure

The cure is never really present

When you're speaking with her

It's really getting to her...

And are you missing the note?

The note is C flat, but G sharp

She's sharper but she don't blow

She's sinking to the bottom

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

No, no

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

No, no

Staring at a form that bleeds

This scene is dark and dreary

Tears are overflowing to me

Me of the ordinary girl

But she always knew that she was

She wasn't ordinary

Special was the meaning of course

How they would describe her

The end is coming closer

Looking, and she's ready to go

Let's go take lots of pictures

Maybe some would sell in the end

Turn into something

That will end up being quite...

My god, does no one love you?

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

Oh, oh

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her

You're slow to learn

That you can't win with her
