The Long Blondes - Swallow Tattoo lyrics

rate me

Give me a good film noir and a bottle of gin I'll be happy just to stay inside, I didn't want to get too involved But I like how hard you tried. To my horror, A former lover told me you've always had a swallow tattoo Now you tell me it's a sign of devotion But devotion to who? Don't think I'm a martyr to the cause She's got her reasons putting cats amongst the pigeons But I'd rather just stay indoors. An antique emblem set in ink It didn't mean a thing to you, And I've been 'round by proxy Goodbye, happiness, I hardly knew ya. To my horror, A former lover told me you've always had a swallow tattoo Now you tell me it's a sign of devotion But devotion to who? You fill me, you fill me You fill me with inertia You fill me with inertia I still want, I still want to jump I want to jump your bones. Don't tell her, tell her anything Because I'm bound to see her later today And if she can't keep a straight face Then I'll know. To my horror, A former lover told me you've always had a swallow tattoo Now you tell me it's a sign of devotion But devotion to who? I'd rather just stay indoors
