A Heady Tale - The Fratellis

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 til' 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 that your clothes are never in style

Livings much too easy, 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 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 friends some place, you know I just can’t tell you

apart

And though they’ll hunt you like a dog they won’t take you alive

'Cause you 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

Though they’ll hunt you like a dog, they won’t take you alive

'Cause you made them piles of money

Stacked up twenty stories high

And the boys from every bar

Well, they’ll miss you when you’re gone

You can tell a heady tale

And they’ll both keep screaming on
