Separate And Ever Deadly Lyrics - Age Of The Understatement - The Last Shadow Puppets

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 

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 

Save me from 

The secateurs 

I'll pretend 

I didn't hear 

Can't you see 

I'm the ghost in the wrong coat 

Biting butter and crumbs 

There's a handsome maverick 

You don't talk about to keep me calm 

And I can't help 

But try create a diversion 

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 

Their angry panthers in your defense 

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 

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
