Lyrics The Long Blondes

The Long Blondes

Appropriation (by Any Other Name)

80% of lovers

Never forget their first

This significant other

Whos departure makes things worse

Well this is you down to a 'T'

I can see you won't forget her

Because she meant untimely death a year ago

Technically, this is, appropriation by any other name

You can't have me, make me act the same

The way you treat me is inappropriate

You don't stop to think about that

Appropriation by any other name

You can't have me, make me act the same

The way you treat me is inappropriate

You don't stop to think about that

A mutal aquaintance

Claims you're wise beyind your years

With a love of conversation

Most unrivaled by your peers

Still the lingering malaise of British Rail

And whether foxes should be killed or hot is her

concern not mine

Technically, this is, appropriation by any other name

You can't have me, make me act the same

The way you treat me is inappropriate

You don't stop to think about that

Appropriation by any other name

You can't have me, make me act the same

The way you treat me is inappropriate

You don't stop to think about that

What will you do if I don't come back to you tonight?

I'm not always at your beck and call

I know how your mind works now

You just want a nearly new replacement

When I met you, I never wore dresses like that

But I've been sitting here for thirty minutes and you

haven't said a word

But I don't have the guts to get on the bus

So I end up getting a lift back to yours and the cycle

starts all over again

The cycle starts over again

Stop this man

Someone stop this stop

Stop this man

Someone stop this man, stop this man
