Fright Lined Dining Room Lyrics
You thrive on dancing in our laps
Before the more familiar chaps
And oh the curtain leads to fever
We watched a womaniser cry
And in the last sip you and I
Declared we might require a breather
I am the truth true through and I
Can feign excitement fluently
As solid as I can busk shock
With well presented merriment
And I know all too well
I shouldn't break the key off in the lock
And the tumble splits the frame, revealing silk and fit
In the fright lined dining room
Throw a gaze towards them while they feast
The days drag their heels when you're not there to crack the whip
And the weeks wait to burst like a sache of brass
The old pantomime villian follows my coat
And he hides where it hangs and he spies through the slots
And meanwhile in the desert's only costume shop
The cowls hang and wait to rot away the identities of the willing
Drowned bags of sugar in the night
Rocketing shuttered doors despite
The shop not opening for hours
You can itch, flap, and whistle
And try to avoid the talk
As I scribbled over drivel you were snoring, showing off
The tumble splits the frame, revealing silk and fit
In the fright lined dining room
Throw a gaze towards them while they feast
Before the more familiar chaps
And oh the curtain leads to fever
And in the last sip you and I
Declared we might require a breather
Can feign excitement fluently
As solid as I can busk shock
And I know all too well
I shouldn't break the key off in the lock
In the fright lined dining room
Throw a gaze towards them while they feast
And the weeks wait to burst like a sache of brass
And he hides where it hangs and he spies through the slots
The cowls hang and wait to rot away the identities of the willing
Rocketing shuttered doors despite
The shop not opening for hours
And try to avoid the talk
As I scribbled over drivel you were snoring, showing off
In the fright lined dining room
Throw a gaze towards them while they feast

You thrive on dancing in our laps before the more familiar chaps who know the curtain leads to fever We watched a womanizer cry and in the last sip you and I declared we might require a breather I am a truth's true truant and I can feign excitement fluently as solidly as I can busk shock.

The tumble splits the frame revealing silk and fits in the fright lined dining room throw a gaze towards them while they feast
The days drag their heels when you're not there to crack the whip And the weeks wait to burst like a sachet of brats The old pantomime villain follows my coat and he hides where it hangs and he spies through the slats And meanwhile in the desert's only costume shop the cowls hang and wait to rot away the identities of the willing I'm back to sugar in the night, rocketing shutter doors despite the shop not opening for hours You can itch, flap and whistle. Try to avoid the tock as I scribbled over drivel you were snoring, showing off.

Great song off their new single shows real progression in songwriting abilities a bit too fast paced for humbug though i think
I have absolutely no clue what this song is about :D
What is it about? I really dont understand, tho I like Alex' voice and the thunes in it
tune* sorry for being illiterate :)
This is one of the hardest songs for me to figure out. I can't get all the references. The general idea seems to be about him being in Joshua Tree writing the album and going to a strip club -- he talks of his boredom there, missing his girlfriend, and his insomnia.
The joshua tree is an album from U2 i think

...? Well, yeah, duh!
But it is also the location where they worked on this album with Josh Homme who has a studio there.
