The 1975 - Paris lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

She said hello, she was lettin' me know

We shared friends in Soho

She is a pain in the nose

And I'm a pain in women's clothes

And you're a walkin' overdose in a great coat

And so she wrote a plan for it on the back of a fag packet

She had to leave because she couldn't hack it

Not a lot of noise and too much racket

I think I've spent all my money and ur friends, oh

(Chorus x2)

But how I'd love to go to Paris again

(Verse 2)

Mr. Serotonin Man, lend me a gram

You call yoself a friend?

I got two left feet and I'm startin' to cheat

On my girlfriend again

I caught a pinky in her nose

As the crowd cheered for an overdose

And I don't suppose u know where this train goes

There was a party that u had to miss

Because ur friend kept cuttin' her wrists

Hyperpoliticized sexual trysts

'Oh, I think my boyfriend's a nihilist'

I said 'Hey kids we're all just the same, what a shame'

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

Oh stop bein' an asshole

And countin' my eye rolls

And like pistols falls in the snow

______(?)

Keepin' payin' the tab on my half

Man u puttin' me up on a shelf

Well I believed you're clean

But only I've seen ur fist for myself

And then she pointed at a bag of her dreams

In a well posh magazine

I said 'I'm done, babe, I'm out of the scene'

But I was pickin' up from Bethnal Green

She said I've been romanticizin' heroin

(Chorus)
