Arrrgh. I wonder if some people have even listened to a song more than once when they post the 'lyrics' on here. I came to check the second line of the main chorus (thanks Prisoner - it is 'confirm'), and the other, obvious, errors annoyed me so much I ended up registering. I mean, what on earth is a 'dead-eye bitch?' Some psycho girl who's adept with a sniper rifle? How would that fit into the song? The word you were looking for is 'dullard'. Also, 'once and timeless week' may sound like a way of saying this week is just like all your other weeks, but it would be terribly inelegant - and more to the point, it's hard to understand how you got those words when 'didn't you see this one some time last week?' clearly fits into the verse so much better. Some words in songs may at first be unclear, but when trying to determine what those words are the listener has a lot of contextual information to help, in the form of the other lyrics. It really isn't too much to ask that people use that information, especially on a song like this where most lyrics and their meanings are clear. This isn't Thom Yorke mumbling tangled metaphors a foot away from the microphone, afterall. Oh, and I agree with everyone who's said the song isn't purely about sex (though it is of course the most important part) - this girl is 100% boring. The correct lyrics are: You're pretty, oh so pretty Why waste your time just sitting Here a-listening to that dullard bitch? Do nothing, eat your chocolate, Drink your wine, she won't let you Make your way across her empire line What's eating you is a mystery But go home with her one more time And you know you'll be history Watch movies with the lights on Sit still, keep her tights on Didn’t you see this one sometime last week? Go on say something clever Just accept she will never Take you higher than her attic room What's eating you is a mystery But go home with her one more time And you know you'll be history She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres I’ll confirm your fears She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres I’ll confirm your fears Is she a femme fatale? That's what she wants you to think She'll never lead him astray But it's the best she can do But is she going away? No she'll always be here, Waiting for you Back here on earth Your mother, call your mother Even she's surprised that this is How you want to spend your nights indoors You never call too often What's up, have you forgotten What it's like to have her on all fours? What's eating you is a mystery But go home with her one more time And you know you'll be history She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres I’ll confirm your fears She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres I’ll confirm your fears Is she a femme fatale? That's what she wants you to think She'll never lead him astray But it's the best she can do But is she going away? No she'll always be here, Waiting for you Back here on earth There's a train at The station It's leaving This morning It'll take you Away from This girl that's So boring Don't turn around just walk away Don't turn around just walk away Don't turn around just walk away She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres I’ll confirm your fears She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres I’ll confirm your fears Is she a femme fatale? That's what she wants you to think She'll never lead him astray But it's the best she can do But is she going away? No she'll always be here, Waiting for you Back here on earth |
