Florence Welch - Under The Thumb lyrics

I used to listen to him sitting on my shoulder But he's losing my affection, I've fallen for another He made me do some bad things but you make me do the worst He's been around for centuries, but you were still the first He may have fire and brimstone, all the power in the world But I'm not trying to impress him now that I'm your girl He says he wants me back and I don't know what to do 'Cos I don't need the devil now that I've got you He has so many tricks but next to you he looks the fool And it's no longer for him that I keep on breaking rules When he told me to take one, you tell me to take four When he said smash the window, you say: break down the door! He sent me pearls and roses, a diamond necklace too But I don't need the devil now that I got you We don't need the devil now, we've got each other We don't need the storm when we're making our own thunder Now we don't need The Reaper, we're already six feet under! Well You can pull the trigger and I will load the gun You can tie the knot and I'll make sure that your hung If you can find the pills, I will make that bed Because I don't need the devil, I've got you instead! If you can pull the trigger, I will load the gun You can tie the knot and I'll make sure that your hung If you can find the pills, I will make that bed Because I don't need the devil, I've got you instead...! I'm different now That I was when he was about I don't know how But something was lost or damaged at lights out Something went It vanished And was never replaced Something bent or broke And now there's nothing but space Something changed about me Something crucial Not my name Blymes! It was something useful f** the games! Tell me Was it something beautiful The dutiful brotherly aspect that was torn Away out the funeral? I fell halved I can't explain it At first I laughed so hard It locked the pain in As rain swept In tandem with the concept of prophetic fallacy I tried to put into context the extent of the tragedy But Nothing was happening I guess I was panicking To get with the plan again Nothing was rubbing in I had to stop fumbling Because there's nothing but trouble in Rummaging for the truth When there's nothing more pummelling that the proof That something as powerful as the 'two' Could be so easily damaged or even reduced! So where's this leave you now? You're not alone But you're not the same And that's the difference in a daily way Anyway Past the trivia lies the main meal That even a myriad of counterpoints couldn't help reveal; I think in some weird way This could work out I'm smiling up, right? And he's smiling back down... But since I'm gravity bound I think f** it! I'm going to move on around And not forget So f**ing forget about it! It's a different purpose, not a different outfit Look at me mouth in and then pronounce it He's my brother So f**ing forget about it! Welcome to neverland, my myopic elephant Where you remember benevolence can get you anything So lucking up is irrelevant So f**ing forget about it...
