Platitudes

Platitudes - The Long Blondes

Lyrics by：Dorian Cox

Composed by：Dorian Cox

She knew a boy he worked in admin

He didn't like it but it kept his hand in

It kept him in rum and taxis

He did enough to make them notice

Every week just for twenty minutes

If she'd had her head down

He never missed a beat

He never failed to mention it

I know they're just platitudes

But baby who's better at giving them to me than you

I can't think of anyone

She lived at home and she worked in retail

She knew the devil was in the detail

And he was meticulous

She had a boyfriend she had a boyfriend

She knew the small talk was rather ridiculous

But it came from the lips that she wanted to kiss

So that as they say was that

I know they're just platitudes

But baby who's better at giving them to me than you

I can't think of anyone

And I know you're a friend

To all the girls

But baby as long as you sing to me that's fine

I don't mind

I don't mind
