Only Lovers Left Alive - The Long Blondes

Written by：Reenie Hollis/Emma Chaplin/Dorian Cox/Mark Turvey/Kate Jackson

I wouldn't bother to look

If I was sure that you were happy together

But I've seen the way she covers her chest up

As if it was a national treasure

Looks are the

First weapon

Charm is the second

I reckon that she doesn't have much of either

You don't need her

It's better that you

Come and see about me

No I won't get bored and I won't get tired

I've already spent years at the back of the line

So another six months

Won't make a difference

To me now

Soon enough we'll be the

Only lovers

Only lovers left alive

Only lovers

Only lovers left alive

All the men came back from six years' fightin'

To the beige row of houses

And the prospect of spending

Their saturday nights in

From here to eternity

And it wasn't that summer

Their wives didn't love them

They had the run of the house

And with nothin' to do on a night

One thing led to something else

No I won't get bored and I won't get tired

I've already spent years at the back of the line

So another six months

Won't make a difference

To me now

Soon enough we'll be the

Only lovers

The only lovers left alive

Only lovers

The only lovers left alive

Behind your back in the supermarket

She's got his number and she's not afraid to use it

I want to know

Exactly what you

Exactly what you intend to do about it

Because you can't keep your eye on her all the time

And you can't trust a word that she says any more

Can't trust a word that she says any more

Can't trust a word that she says any more

No I won't get bored and I won't get tired

I've already spent years at the back of the line

So another six months

Won't make a difference to me now

Don't tell me you'll walk past salvation

I have to take it anyway

Can I get it on credit or something

Godspeed the day

Godspeed the day when we're the

Only lovers

The only lovers left alive

Only lovers

The only lovers left alive

Only lovers

The only lovers left alive

Only lovers

The only lovers left alive

Left alive

Left alive

Ooohh
