Appropriation

Long Blondes

4

Eighty percent of lovers never forget their first

that significant other whose departure makes things worse

well, this is you down to a tee

I can see you won't forget her

yet she met untimely death a year ago

technically

this is

appropriation by any other name

you can't have me and make me act the same

the way you treat me is inappropriate

but you dont stop to think about that

a mutual acquaintance claims you're wise beyond your years

with a love of conversation most unrivalled by your peers

still, the lingering malaise of british rail and whether foxes should be killed or not is her concern, not mine

what would you do if I didn't come back to you tonight?

well, I'm not always at your beck and call you know

I know how your mind works now:

you just want a nearly new replacement

when I met you, I never wore dresses like that

but I've been sitting here now for thirty minutes and you haven't said a word

but I don't have the guts to get on the bus

so I end up getting a lift back to yours

and the cycle starts over again

the cycle starts all over again

stop this man...
