The Long Blondes – Swallow Tattoo Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second

Give me a good film noir and a bottle of gin
Ill be happy just to stay inside,
I didnt want to get too involved
But I like how hard you tried.

To my horror,
A former lover told me youve always had a swallow tattoo
Now you tell me its a sign of devotion
But devotion to who?

Dont think Im a martyr to the cause
Shes got her reasons putting cats amongst the pigeons
But Id rather just stay indoors.

An antique emblem set in ink
It didnt mean a thing to you,
Now Ive been wronged by proxy
Goodbye, happiness, I hardly knew ya.

To my horror,
A former lover told me youve always had a swallow tattoo
Now you tell me its 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.

Dont tell her, tell her anything
Because Im bound to see her later today
And if she cant keep a straight face
Then Ill know.
To my horror,
A former lover told me youve always had a swallow tattoo
Now you tell me its a sign of devotion
But devotion to who?

Id rather just stay indoors.
