Elbow - Bitten by the Tailfly Lyrics

Artist: Elbow

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Pop

  • Songwriters: Guy Edward John Garvey, Richard Barry Jupp, Craig Lee Potter, Mark Potter, Peter James Turner

You're a girl in this vicinity
I'm a dog without a collar on
This cattle-market cabaret
Is the Sabbath every Saturday?

I'm full of wit and chivalry
Until you've given in to me
I'm a dog without a collar on
You're a girl in this vicinity

Bitten by the tail-fly
Too many times to change
It's a silent taxi ride away
But it's everything to get you there

You'll know when you are bitten-shy
But still you will return my stare
From a crush of blushing brides-to-be
You barely have a blossom on

Your eyes betray your diaries
I'm a dog without a collar on
I'll take you home, get you on your own
Sweetness, don't be bashful

Your eyes betray your diaries
