lyrics

Doll me up for the party,
Wear me out for all your friends.
I am your third earring,
You're my prettiest split end.
I've seen your good side,
And I've seen how long it lasts.
You have all the patience
Of a candle in the bath,

And I don't know why I'd try to do this again,
And I don't know why I'd put myself through this again.
You love my love, you love my love.
You love my love, you love my love.

Wish you were half as honest
As you look with your hair up.
Keep your weekend promises,
You only like me when I'm drunk.
It ain't easy to please you,
It's too easy to give you what you want:
Someone to lie beneath you,
While you get yourself off,

And I don't know why I'd try to do this again,
And I don't know why I'd put myself through this again.
You love my love, you love my love, you love my love.
You love my love, but not the man that it comes from.

about

Patient Barney Penrose Richmond, Virginia

"As a lyricist, Patient Barney Penrose shares a vividness with Matt Berninger of The National, expressing himself with melancholic, literate concision. These are lyrics that read well without a melody. An extension of an obvious literary talent, they embellish his dulcet arrangements."

Julian Belvedere, HY.GEN.IC London
