The Age Of The Understatement Lyrics - Age Of The Understatement - The Last Shadow Puppets

Decided 

To sneak up away 

From your stomach 

And try your pulse 

And captured 

What seemed all 

Unknowing and candid 

But they suspected 

It was false 

She's playful 

The boring would 

Warn you be careful 

Of her brigade 

In order to tame 

This relentless marauder 

Move away from the parade 

And she was walking on the tables 

In the glass house 

Endearingly bedraggled in the wind 

Subtle in her method of seduction 

The twenty little tragedies begin 

And she would throw 

A feather boa in the road 

If she thought 

That it would set the scene 

Unfittingly dipped 

Into your companions 

Enlighten them to make you see 

And there's affection to rent 

The age of the understatement 

Before the attraction ferments 

Kiss me properly and pull me apart 

Affection to rent 

The age of the understatement 

Before this attraction ferments 

Kiss me properly and pull me apart 

Ah 

And my fingers scratch at my hair 

Before my mind can get too reckless 

The idea of seeing you here 

Is enough to make the sweat grow cold 

Oh
