Madame Ray Lyrics - Someone To Drive You Home - The Long Blondes

Give me a polaroid picture to fit in my pocket 

An i'll paste it into my heartshaped locket 

eventually I cheat on every man I meet 

I know I can't help it 

buy me a drink and I'll tell you my name 

i'm a rose petal falling from a mainline train 

always there to touch but just out of reach 

I know you can't help it 

eye on metronome watching the way you write her name 

an object of destruction made fror madame ray 

left New York 

but drew your outline 

on a ticket back to London 

whitewashed all my boyfriend's features 

solarizing future pictures 

if i'm you ideal portrait of a girl 

i'll be your apprentice 

but you can't keep me a captive on your wall 

i'm still in my twenties 

eye behing a camera past the city music hall 

madame ray will sit me high above you all 

left New York 

but drew your outline 

on a record sleeve in Brooklyn 

whitewashed three years of existence 

solarizing future pictures 

man let go, he couldn't keep her 

locks of hair on artist's easels 

traces of unseen love rivals 

solarizing into pictures 

I am forever being put away and i am always in reserve 

I am forever being put away and I am always in reserve 

with an eye always in reserve 

material indestructible 

forever being out away 

taken for a ride 

put on the spot 

the racket must go on 

I am always in reserve
