Arab Strap The Shy Retirer Lyrics

The Shy Retirer Lyrics

another bloated disco, another sniff of romance i'll forget

we promised to ourselves before we came out we'd do something we regret

these people are your friends

this cunted circus never ends

i won't remember anything you say



i lost my social skills a while ago but no i feel them coming back

my eyes were rolling when we met and now they are perparing for attack

i want to fall in love tonight and for the perfect unbreakable bond

you can be my teenage jenny agutter, swimming naked in a pond

you know i'm always moanin'

but you jumpstart my seratonin

but how d'you know you've ever really loved?



but when i feel like this, i know it doesn't matter

if i wat when i'm not hungy i can feel my face get fatter

then i thin out every weekend and i think that she might want me

but i always slip off my own 'cause...



i let those feelings haunt me, they control me, but tonight i'm letting go

you're more then just a photo album, you're more than what some people let you
know

and if we ever make it home, i'll tell you all the things that shaped me
thus;

something forged in a phonebox but lost in a restaurant we've got so much to
discuss

here, have you tried the blue ones?

i hear he's got some new ones

sleep is not an option tonight



look at us just stand and stare

look at them just pose and pout

and we'll all be standing here 

until the pigs chuck us out
