Only Lovers Left Alive Songtext

von The Long Blondes

I wouldn't bother to look if I was sure that you were happy together
But i've seen the way she covers her chest up as if it were a national treasure
Looks are the first weapon, charm is the second
I reckon that she doesn't have much of either, you don't need her
It's better that you come see about me

No, I won't get bored and I won't get tired
I've already spent years at the back of the line
So another six months won't make a difference to me now
Soon enough we'll be the only lovers
The only lovers left alive

All the men came back from six years fighting
To a beige row of houses and the prospect of spending
Their saturday nights in - from here to eternity
And it wasn't that some of their wives didn't love them
But they had the run of the house
And with nothing to do on a night, well one thing led to
Something else (it's just a word of warning)

(repeat chorus)

Behind your back in the supermarket
She's got his number and she's not afraid to use it
I want to know exactly what you intend to do about it
Because you can't keep your eye on her all the time
And you can't trust a word that she says anymore

No, I won't get bored and I won't get tired
I've already spent years at the back of the line
So another six months won't make a difference to me now
Don't tell me what price salvation cos i'll take it anyway
Can I get it on credit or something? god speed the day
God speed the day
When we're the only lovers
The only lovers left alive
Only lovers
The only lovers left alive
Left alive
Left alive...
