She said, "I'm Rosie"
I said, "I thought you were Lucy"
She said, "No Rosie, I told you so"
Was here with your sister
But she's going out the back
I wanna dance and have fun, y'know
Of all the shitty little places I meet you it's here
And I'm freaking out
I heard you got a brand new name
Selling E's in the dark
But hey it's nothing to shout about
Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
Being you can't be easy
When you're creepin' up the backstairs
Mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door
My, my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys
Bye-bye
Well, I see your yellow fingers
And your crucifix bones
All covered in cellophane
Was there when your best friend said
"Sweetheart, I'm just here to get drunk again"
I wouldn't move if I was you
I wouldn't wanna caught when the lights go out
She said, "You think you're so special"
I said, "Sunshine I'm just just bored, I'm just checkin' out"
Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
Being you can't be easy
When you're creepin' up the backstairs
Mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door
My, my
Climbing in your window
Get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys
Bye-bye
Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
Being you can't be easy
When you're creepin' up the backstairs
Mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door
My, my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys
Bye-bye
When you're creepin' up the backstairs
Mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door
My, my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys
Bye-bye
Album: Costello Music
Writer: John Lawler (Jon Fratelli)
This is generally one of my favourite songs from The Fratellis and just one of my favourite songs in general. It's really good. If you like rock, indie rock or things like that, then I definitely recommend you listening to it. It's got a really cool drum intro that if you listen to it a couple times, you should be able to recognise it pretty fast, and a really good chorus and lyrics.
at that stage of hyperfixation where it is currently on my mind 24/7 and i need to indulge in it constantly this is so autism of me,, but also i am dreading the day where it doesnt bring me this joy. can anyone relate?
”Stay with my ‘till my talk gets strange
Stay with me ‘till my eyes get low and heavy
I know this, and this only as myself,
I’ll sing that melody when I’m good and ready
I don’t know if it’s divine,
But I know that it’s mine.”

[text, in order:
1. You say you never wanna be saved/ Well, that's okay 'cause I wouldn't know how/ Just know that the best that I'll ever be/ Is whatever you make me and wherever you are
2. I got enough on my mind/ That when she pulls me by the hair/ She hasn't much to hold onto/ She keeping count on her hand/ One, two, three days that I've been sleeping on my side
3. I sit outside and watch the sunrise/ Lookout as far as I can/ I can't see her, but in the distance/ I hear some laughter, we laugh together/ I hold my breath and close my eyes and/ Dream about her/'Cause she's 2000 light-years away
4. And it's four in the mornin' and I'm walkin' along/ Beside the ghost of every drinker here who's ever done wrong/ And it's you, woo-hoo/ That's got me goin' crazy for the things you do
5. And solitaire's the only game in town/ And every road that takes him/ Takes him down/ And by himself it's easy to pretend/ He'll never love again
7. Can you be so sure of love?/ Can you stop my heart from breaking
6. I remember waking up in Colorado/ You said that it was raining/ I tried to hide away, but you said no/ You made me love the rain
9. I would never change what our past is/ Written in our bones, it's who we are
8. And as I stare, I counted/ The webs from all the spiders/ Catching things and eating their insides/ Like indecision to call you/ And hear your voice of treason/ Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?/ Stop this pain tonight./ Don't waste your time on me, you're already/ The voice inside my head
10. God knows, I am dissonance/ Waiting to be swiftly pulled into tune/ I'll go anywhere you want/ Anywhere you want/ Anywhere you want me]
