Separate and Ever Deadly
The Last Shadow Puppets
[Verse 1]
When we walked the streets together
All the faces seemed to smile back
And now the pavements have nothing to offer
And all the faces seem to need a slap
There's an unfamiliar grip
On an unfamiliar handkerchief
Attending to the tears on cheeks I wouldn't notice with you
No matter how vicious the grief

[Pre-Chorus]
Her expression was damp and crooked
Grabs onto my throat and won't let go
Won't let go, won't let go, won't let go

[Chorus]
Save me from (the secateurs)
I'll pretend (I didn't hear)
Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat?
Biting butter and crumbs
[Verse 2]
There's a handsome maverick
You don't talk about to keep me calm
And I can't help if I create a version
That pulls you back onto his arm
Please don't tell me
You don't have to, darling, I can sense
That he painted you a gushing sunset
And slayed angry panthers in your defence

[Pre-Chorus]
And he stands separate and ever deadly
Clings onto my throat and won't let go
Won't let go, won't let go, won't let go

[Chorus]
Save me from (the secateurs)
I'll pretend (I didn't hear)
Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat?
Biting butter and crumbs

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Save me from (the secateurs)
I'll pretend (I didn't hear)
Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat?
Biting butter and crumbs
