Slow Club - Tattoo of The King lyrics
[Slow Club - Tattoo of The King lyrics]
I saved up for two whole years
To get this tattoo of the king
Right across my heart right across my chest
Right about where those
Double bypass scars start
He's not strange these days
He's looking at me now
I hear the guitar music
Is coming back here anyday
So I look to the boys
With their jewels on the floor
Trying to remember the moment it went away
He's not strange these days
He's looking at me now
No I don't want to be what you want
The shelf don't wanna be the running joke
Just over your shoulder
Don't wanna be the reasons why
You learn to lie so well
I just wanna be i
I just wanna be
Your daddy worked for the RAF
He never stayed around for too long
You were good at making friends
Not so good at keeping them
But we're always able to forget them
By the end of the song
To all of the lovers and all of the dreamers
Who dare not look down
To all of the debutants who find themselves
Waiting it out in the some back us down
Don't give the game away
They want you in your place
Oh, I don't wanna be the one
To whisper in the ear
Don't wanna be the failing entertainer
That you once held dear
Don't wanna be up all night
Working like a dog but, I sleep all day
And take the evenings off sleep all day
Oh and take the evenings off
Sleep all day oh
And take the evenings off
To get this tattoo of the king
Right across my heart right across my chest
Right about where those
Double bypass scars start
He's not strange these days
He's looking at me now
I hear the guitar music
Is coming back here anyday
So I look to the boys
With their jewels on the floor
Trying to remember the moment it went away
He's not strange these days
He's looking at me now
No I don't want to be what you want
The shelf don't wanna be the running joke
Just over your shoulder
Don't wanna be the reasons why
You learn to lie so well
I just wanna be i
I just wanna be
Your daddy worked for the RAF
He never stayed around for too long
You were good at making friends
Not so good at keeping them
But we're always able to forget them
By the end of the song
To all of the lovers and all of the dreamers
Who dare not look down
To all of the debutants who find themselves
Waiting it out in the some back us down
Don't give the game away
They want you in your place
Oh, I don't wanna be the one
To whisper in the ear
Don't wanna be the failing entertainer
That you once held dear
Don't wanna be up all night
Working like a dog but, I sleep all day
And take the evenings off sleep all day
Oh and take the evenings off
Sleep all day oh
And take the evenings off
