Your Cover's Blown Lyrics - Third Eye Centre - Belle And Sebastian

Say what you want and leave your shyness home 

Do what you want and write a little poem 

Leave it for her and live another day 

Leave it for her, the girl around the way 

Write down a list of things you want to do 

Leave it in work because you've got to live a little 

Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed Mini 

Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money 

Listen lady, put your phone down

Tell your friends to cool it 

Your cover's blown 

I want to see you alone 

Cancel all operations 

Tell your friends to cool it 

Your cover's blown

NEW SONG: Ed Sheeran - 'BLOW' Lyrics ft. Chris Stapleton & Bruno Mars 

Planning a break is such a tricky thing 

Because you move to the country, she comes back again 

And then you move to the city but she goes abroad 

Is she telling you something, is she getting bored? 

I'll make a rough plan to sleep around, I'm in a rut 

I need a change, I'm a lazy rat if I am honest 

My bold change of tact will fade out with the summer 

I've got no appetite and all the girls are bummers 

My baby doesn't look at me 

The way I want her to 

She doesn't comprend 

My baby's got it going on 

She's got a friend hid in every street in this town 

I want to go out but there's nobody home 

I'll go on my own 

Thus starts the lonely walking 

There's always too much talking 

I should have stayed home 

She starts her cool caressing 

The kid, she starts undressing in front of me 

I should've stayed home 

The DJ's picking up speed 

That's something I just don't need 

I should've stayed home 

The gossip's bearing down on me 

The kids are pairing off in front of me 

I should've stayed home 

I should've stayed home 

I think I'll go home 

Photos 

Hey lady, meet my mum and dad 

You're a strange aberration 

In this land of potted plants and box-like houses 

Where the girls like mouses 

Breathe a long sigh of resignation 

You resign yourself to keep on growing 

All the seeds you're sowing 

You're a strange apparition 

In this land of grammar schools and gala days 

The ladies set in their ways 

You had a long conversation 

With the kid next door 

Who's a little slow 

But in your favour, it shows
