A Heady Tale

A Heady Tale - The Fratellis

Written by：John Lawler

Pull me up a chair and keep your money

There's no guarantees

Won't you please forgive me

But you know cold blooded women make me sneeze

And I'll kick you out the door

If for just one minute you lie

And they'll come crashing through the wall

And leave you crawling till the minute you die

Pour yourself a drink or three

And maybe we'll think clearer for a while

You may be an embarrassment

But I love the way your clothes are never in style

Living's much too easy

And dying would be some kind of bore

Well you swear that you're original

But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before

So steal the watch from off my wrist

Oh and shake me by the hand

We could disappear for days

And they wouldn't understand

Gypsy blood will get you far

And they will not miss you when you go

Tear another hole in my brown shoes

And we can all sleep for a while

Well I told you once before

I love your braces and your hesitant smile

But please don't get me wrong it's only right

That you can stamp on my heart

Well I've seen you and your friend some place

You know I just can tell you apart

And though they'll hunt you like a dog

They won't take you alive

Coz you've made them piles of money

Stacked up twenty stories high

And the boys in every bar

They will not miss you when you go

So steal the watch from off my wrist

Oh and shake me by the hand

We could disappear for days

And they wouldn't understand

Gypsy blood will get you far

Though it's far away from me

Look me up when you get home

And maybe then we'll see

Well they'll hunt you like a dog

But they won't take you alive

Coz you made them piles of money

Stacked up twenty stories high

And the boys in every bar

Well they'll miss you when you're gone

You can tell a heady tale

And we'll both keep screaming on

La la
