lyrics

24, nice hair, smells of cigarettes,
I'm not sure if she wants to be my girl.
Occasionally she'll kiss me, like she really means it,
and it feels like I've never been lonely before.

But I don't care about the cigarettes,
I don't care about the attitude,
the piercing in her tongue I can get used to.
I can live with the alcohol,
the draft beside the fire door,
as long as she'll still kiss me on this dance floor.

I'll ask her back to my place every now and then,
with only moderate expectations.
She don't look good in photos, or none that I've seen,
but she's so pretty when we're face to face.

But I don't care about the cigarettes,
I don't care about the attitude,
the piercing in her tongue I can get used to.
I can live with the alcohol,
the draft beside the fire door,
as long as she'll still kiss me on this dance floor.

I don't care about the cigarettes,
I don't care about the attitude,
the piercing in her tongue I can get used to.
I can live with the alcohol,
the draft beside the fire door,
as long as she'll still kiss me on this dance floor.

I can live, oh I can live,
just as long as she's still kissing me once I'm too drunk to think.
I can live, oh I can live,
if she amuses me as much as she confuses me by 2 a.m. tomorrow.

about

Prodding Juliet England, UK

Prodding Juliet were a three-piece indie band from Durham, UK, that made a fair bit of noise between 2008 and 2010. In the years since then we managed to finish creating our debut/swansong album at a snail's pace and can finally rest in peace.
