Arab Strap – Shy Retirer Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 20 Second

Another bloated disco,
Another sniff of romance Ill forget
We promised to ourselves before we came out
Wed do something we regret

These people are your friends
This cunted circus never ends
I wont remember anything you say

I lost my social skills a while ago
But now I feel them coming back
My eyes were rolling when we met
And now they are preparing for attack

I want to fall in love tonight
And form the perfect unbreakable bond
You can be my teenage Jenny Agutter
Swimming naked in a pond

You know im always moanin
But you jumpstart my seratonin
But how dyou know youve ever really loved?

But when I feel like this, I know it doesnt matter
When I eat when Im not hungy Im sure I feel my face get fatter
Then I thin out every weekend and I think that she might want me
But I always slip off my own cause…

I let those feelings haunt me, they control me,
But tonight Im letting go
Youre more then just a photo album,
Youre more than what some people let you know

And if we ever make it home,
Ill tell you all the things that shaped me thus
Something forged in a phonebox but lost in a restaurant
Weve got so much to discuss

Here, have you tried the blue ones?
I hear hes got some new ones
Sleep is not an option tonight

Look at us just stand and stare
Look at them just pose and pout
And well all be standing here
Until the pigs chuck us out
