Swallow Tattoo (2021 Remaster) - The Long Blondes

Written by：Reenie Hollis/Emma Chaplin/Dorian Cox/Mark Turvey/Kate Jackson

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
