lyrics

So this is twee and here we are,
We only know three chords and can't play the guitar,
But I like this music,
Even though everybody's awkward and wearing wooly jumpers.

I don't want to hear another love song.
I don't want to hear another love song
from those shiny, shiny people in those shiny, shiny bands
with pretty sounding lyrics that make no sense
like lightning on the hill
or the thunder in your eye
or the mirrors of your teeth
or a gunship in the sky

I don't want to hear another love song.
I don't want to hear another love song.

So you'll go to the beach, and you'll make love,
even though we live in a city that doesn't have a shore
and the metaphors pile up and spill out of your mouth
and I still don't have a clue what you're talking about.

I don't want to hear another love song.
I don't want to hear another love song.

So this is twee and here we are.
There's only one guy on a banjo and another on guitar.
There used to be a pale pretty girl playing the ukelele
but she left the band after they had a fight about Darren Hayman.

So this is twee and it sounds shite
but at least we're vaguely honest about how we live our lives.

I don't want to hear another love song.
I don't want to hear another love song.
