The Long Blondes - Lust In The Movies lyrics

A svelte young man, eighteen lovers to his name.

Well if the rumours are true then eighteen lovers came crawling back again.

I don't feel well.

I've got this rattling in my chest.

My doctor said that I should give it up because I'm clinically obsessed.

I know you think you're in the movies.

You're in the movies that don't wanna know me.

Well I know all about fear and desire, I know all about lust et cetera.

Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karenina, Arlene Dahl.

Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karenina, Arlene Dahl.

I just want to be a sweetheart.

I just want to be a sweetheart.

I just want to be a sweetheart.

A sweet young girl, dressed to the nines in Cacharel.

Oh, under the weather my heels click together, and following her is hell.

I feel quite ill.

I've got this rattling in my chest.

My doctor said that I should give it up, I need to get some rest.

Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karenina, Arlene Dahl.

Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karenina, Arlene Dahl.

I just want to be a sweetheart.

I just want to be a sweetheart.

I just want to be a sweetheart.

So never, neve, never try to tell me it's a pleasure being alone.

All I have here with me are the records and the books that I own.

Nag, nag, nag.

Nag, nag, nag.

Nag, nag, nag.

Nag, nag, nag.

Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karenina, Arlene Dahl.

Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karenina, Arlene Dahl.

I just want to be a sweetheart.

I just want to be a sweetheart.

I just want to be a sweetheart
