Miles Kane - The Age of the Understatement lyrics

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 gla** 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 seethe 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 the eattraction ferments Kiss me properly and pull me apart 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 Oohhh oohhh oohhh oohhh oohhh oohhh oohhh
