lyrics

I've been in love with you for years
You've smelled my sweat, you've heard my tiers
I have no money, only insults
With which to win your jaded heart, to win you over

For the first time
I thought I'd seen those eyes a million times
But I was never looking right
For the first time
I thought I'd seen those eyes a million times
But I was never looking, was never looking right

I've been in love with you for years
You've blocked my calls, you've warned your peers
I'd serenade you if I knew how
But the words stick in my throat, as if I'd regret them

For the first time
I thought I'd seen those eyes a million times
But I was never looking right
For the first time
I thought I'd seen those eyes a million times
But I was never looking, was never looking right

I'll offer you my love of sorts
And all the insults I can afford
I'm looking at you for the first time
In glorious technicolour, in all your splendour

For the first time
I thought I'd seen those eyes a million times
But I was never looking right
For the first time
I thought I'd seen those eyes a million times
But I was never looking, was never looking right

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.
