Elbow - Bitten By The Tail-fly lyrics

You're a girl in this vicinity I'm a dog without a collar on This cattle-market cabaret Is the Sabbath every Saturday I'm full of wit and chivalry Until you've given in to me I'm a dog without a collar on You're a girl in this vicinity Bitten by the tail-fly Too many times to change It's a silent taxi ride away But it's everything to get you there You'll know when you are bitten-shy But still you will return my stare From a crush of blushing brides-to-be You barely have a blossom on Your eyes betray your diaries I'm a dog without a collar on I'll take you home Get you on your own Sweetness, don't be bashful Your eyes betray your diaries
