Giddy Stratospheres Lyrics - Singles - The Long Blondes

(Verse One) 

You're pretty, oh so pretty 

Why waste your time just sitting 

Here listening to that dead-eye bitch? 

Do nothing, eat your chocolate 

Drink your wine, she won't let you 

Make your way across her empire line! 

(Bridge) 

What's eating you is a mystery 

But go home with her one more time 

And you know you'll be history 

(Verse Two) 

Watch movies with the lights on 

Sit still, keep her tights on 

Did you see this one the same time week? 

Go on, say something clever 

Just act so she will never 

Take you higher than her attic room 

(Bridge) 

What's eating you is a mystery 

But go home with her one more time 

And you know you'll be history 

(Chorus) 

She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres 

I'll comfort your fears 

She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres 

I'll comfort your fears 

(Is she a femme fatale?) 

That's what she wants you to think 

(She'll never lead him astray) 

But it's the best she can do 

(But is she going away?) 

No, she'll always be here, 

Waiting for you 

Back here on earth 

(Verse Two) 

Your mother, call your mother 

Even she's surprised that this is 

How you want to spend your nights indoors 

You never call too often 

What's up? Have you forgotten 

What it's like to have her on all fours? 

(Bridge) 

What's eating you is a mystery 

But go home with her one more time 

And you know you'll be history 

(Chorus) 

She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres 

I'll comfort your fears 

She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres 

I'll comfort your fears 

(Is she a femme fatale?) 

That's what she wants you to think 

(She'll never lead him astray) 

But it's the best she can do 

(But is she going away?) 

No, she'll always be here, 

Waiting for you 

Back here on earth 

(Middle-Eight) 

There's a train at 

The station 

It's leaving 

This morning 

It'll take you 

Away from 

This girl that's 

So boring 

Don't turn around, just walk away 

Don't turn around, just walk away 

Don't turn around, JUST WALK AWAY 

(Chorus) 

She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres 

I'll comfort your fears 

She'll never take you to giddy stratospheres 

I'll comfort your fears 

(Is she a femme fatale?) 

That's what she wants you to think 

(She'll never lead him astray) 

But it's the best she can do 

(But is she going away?) 

No, she'll always be here, 

Waiting for you 

Back here on earth
