The Maccabees - WW1 Portraits lyrics

Just so beautiful Inside out more colourful Fair hair tied back casual A go-getter, go-getter You're the best of all You've seen it four, five hundred times on repeat You're like a leftover better than a ribbon-tied treat Narrow roads, never limit, never temper your speed And when the river froze solid you're still swimming upstream You'd hold your own in the presence of pauper and a king Leave a singing bird silent, make a hummingbird sing You are a rope-a-doper coming back queen They all want you so bad, of course they do Just so beautiful You break your back for the mission because you know where you stand You live your life to a letter writ on the back of your hand The way you move, you float, never know where you land Give a five star rating if you know that you can You are a rose-tinted underground fail You are a red arrow fighter jet trail You are the best of both, feel I know you so well And I lay here beside you and I'm golden now
