Swallow Tattoo Songtext
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,

Now I've been wronged 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.
