Swallow Tattoo Lyrics - Someone To Drive You Home - The Long Blondes

Give me a good film noir and a bottle of gin 

I'll be happy just to stay inside, 

I didn't want to get too involved 

But I like how hard you tried. 

To my horror, 

A former lover told me you've always had a swallow tattoo 

Now you tell me it's a sign of devotion 

But devotion to who? 

Don't think I'm a martyr to the cause 

She's got her reasons putting cats amongst the pigeons 

But I'd rather just stay indoors. 

An antique emblem set in ink 

It didn't mean a thing to you, 

And I've been 'round by proxy 

Goodbye, happiness, I hardly knew ya. 

To my horror, 

A former lover told me you've always had a swallow tattoo 

Now you tell me it's a sign of devotion 

But devotion to who? 

You fill me, you fill me 

You fill me with inertia 

You fill me with inertia 

I still want, I still want to jump 

I want to jump your bones. 

Don't tell her, tell her anything 

Because I'm bound to see her later today 

And if she can't keep a straight face 

Then I'll know. 

To my horror, 

A former lover told me you've always had a swallow tattoo 

Now you tell me it's a sign of devotion 

But devotion to who? 

I'd rather just stay indoors
