The Long Blondes - Appropriation (By Any Other Name) lyrics

Eighty percent of lovers Never forget their first This significant other Whose departure makes things worse Well this is you down to a 't' I can see you won't forget her Because she met untimely d**h 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 mutual aquaintance Claims you're wise beyond your years With a love of conversation Most unrivaled by your peers Still the lingering malaise of British Rail And whether foxes should be k**ed or not 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
