Lyrics The Jezabels

The Jezabels

Stand and Deliver

Oh, weren't those days so gay?

It was you and me, Daddy

On the island

But you're too busy for me now

Wish we could take a holiday

On the island

Oh, Daddy please

You're so busy all your life

Let's go back to the island

You can marry me

Let me be your wife

What's a girl to do?

Standin' in the spotlight

What's it gonna be?

Maybe it's a broken heart

Lookin' up at you

Style and pedigree

I don't need a wristwatch

To tell that that's the time it is

And I don't think I can make it

Trembling at the door

Cause he used to be my babe

But he don't care anymore

And it's something quite unfair

In the underlying scene

That she wants the same success

But she's lackin' in the breeding

Tell me, why the noise?

You think you'd be used to this

So, come on little boys

Come and give a bitch a kiss

Take me all the way

Be my holiday

Meet me at a cheap hotel

Oh, shifty off the mark

Fiddle in the dark

Before you know you know me well

And it's something quite unfair

Even systematically

That she wants the same success

But she's lacking in the real thing

Doomed to fall for anything she read

And upon the toilet wall

It was written and it said

We stand and deliver

Just what you need

Complete satisfaction

Is a guarantee

She don't need a wristband

She can tell, tell the time that it is

Tell what's right in front of me, yeah

Hell yeah, I can tell that he's a fine pedigree

She don't need a wristband (Black Friday)

If she's watching me (That's my day)

Complete satisfaction (So shiny)

Is a guarantee (Black Friday)

He don't need to worry

Baby he can slip right in

Like a penny

Maybe he can make in me

Proper pedigree

Maybe what was good in him

Could be good in me
