Southern Belles in London Sing Lyrics
scarlet boots, the kiss of death
patience in the end of it
Blended angles, whispered love
Countdown 'til it's gone for long
Velvet voices, haunting slow
Darkended nooks with bright decor
Georgian femmes are gone for weeks
Southern belles in London sing
I'm staring down the Epley Gate
Two more days before the plane arrives
And you'll be standing here with your smile
I'm carving up the lobby seats
Pushing down the caffeine drinks
Checking the arrival screens for yours
A hundred feet above the landing
There's a girl gliding down
She's floating toward me now
Her sleeves are all stretching out
and the jet is following behind
Wake up
London skids a grinding halt
Last night left to spend apart
Your bags are packed by now for home
Stories of the tour unfold
Your booking agent's broken nose
Budding heads with creeping dolts
Georgian femmes are gone for weeks
Southern belles in London sing
Southern belles in London sing
patience in the end of it
Blended angles, whispered love
Countdown 'til it's gone for long
Darkended nooks with bright decor
Georgian femmes are gone for weeks
Southern belles in London sing
Two more days before the plane arrives
And you'll be standing here with your smile
Pushing down the caffeine drinks
Checking the arrival screens for yours
There's a girl gliding down
She's floating toward me now
Her sleeves are all stretching out
and the jet is following behind
Wake up
Last night left to spend apart
Your bags are packed by now for home
Stories of the tour unfold
Budding heads with creeping dolts
Georgian femmes are gone for weeks
Southern belles in London sing

her sleeves are all stretching out ??? is following behind
I think its "the jet is following behind"
yep, seems like you're right, fixed.
this song makes my feet tap holes in my car.
the ??? is "epply"
this song rules. its about his wife going away on your and he's back at home waiting for her to return. its impossible not to get up and dance to this one
i wonder if this has anything to do with Elliott Smith's song "souther belle," considering he killed himself and he was originally from Omaha... so many coincedences. i wish i could talk to todd baechele!

this song is so rad it makes me want to drive super fast down an empty freeway
this song is awesome. i love the violin in the intro
I think it's "my staring down the empty gate."
i was thinking about what this song means- its such an amazing song. i think it's about someone who' girlfriend is touring in a band, and you are too, and seeing her again, and both of them did things they are guilty about.
