Fratellis, The – For The Girl

La la la la la la……..

Oh she said I know but I just cant tell

Everything that you’ve just been saying

Lucy was there aswell in the dark

When the kids in the band were playing

No-one can hear a word or tell

What the girl was singing

See she must’ve been 16 or 18

Or just past caring

She was into the Stones when

I was into the Roses

She was breaking my bones when

I was busting her noses

She would tell me a secret

I would lose it the next day

Young love pleases you easy

Makes you sick in a bad way

And all the while the girl sang

La la la la and she sang

Kickings for my sweetheart

Bruises that I just dont miss

And she said “I can’t love you anymore than this!”

La la la la la la la……………

La la la la la la la……………

Oh she said she said oh no no no

But then again yes why don’t you kill me

I said wait a minute stop right there sweetheart

you know that don’t thrill me

Said I would’ve been there for if you had been a little bit nicer

I was dead by Sunday half dead scint just trying to please her

She was getting the pills when

I was into her best friend

She was chasing her thrills

And living out in the West End

She was pretty in places

I lived under her window

She said take me to London

Tell me something I don’t know

And all the while the girl sang

La la la la she sang

Kickings for my sweetheart

Bruises that I just don’t miss

And she said “I can’t love you anymore than this!”

La la la la la…..

La la la la la…..

La la la la la…..

She was into the Stones when

I was into the Roses

She was breaking my bones when

I was busting her noses

She would tell me a secret

I would lose it the next day

Young love pleases you easy

Makes you sick in a bad way

And all the while the girl sang

La la la la she sang

Kickings for my sweetheart

Bruises that I just don’t miss

And she said I don’t like you

You can’t stand me

I can’t love you anymore than this
