The Long Blondes

The Long Blondes - Only Lovers Left Alive lyrics

I wouldn't bother to look if I was sure that you were happy together But I've seen the way she covers her chest up as if it was a national treasure Looks are the first weapon Charm is the second I reckon that she doesn't have much of either You don't need her It's better that you come and see about me. No, I won't get bored and I won't get tired I've already spent years at the back of the line So another six months won't make a difference to me now Soon enough we'll be the Only lovers, only lovers left alive Only lovers, only lovers left alive All the men came back from six years' fighting To the beige row of houses and the prospect of spending Their Saturday nights in From here to eternity And it wasn't that summer their wives didn't love them They had the run of the house And with nothing to do on a night One thing led to something else. No, I won't get bored and I won't get tired I've already spent years at the back of the line So another six months won't make a difference to me now Soon enough we'll be the Only lovers, only lovers left alive Only lovers, only lovers left alive Behind your back in the supermarket She's got his number and she's not afraid to use it I want to know, exactly what you, exactly what you intend to do about it Because you can't keep your eye on her all the time And you can't trust a word that she says any more Can't trust a word that she says any more Can't trust a word that she says any more No, I won't get bored and I won't get tired I've already spent years at the back of the line So another six months won't make a difference to me now Don't tell me you'll walk past salvation I have to take it anyway Can I get it on credit or something? Godspeed the day, godspeed the day when we're the Only lovers, only lovers left alive Only lovers, only lovers left alive Only lovers, only lovers left alive Only lovers, only lovers left alive Left alive Left alive
