THE FRATELLIS LYRICS - Moriarty's Last Stand

"Moriarty's Last Stand"



Well you know what I mean

But you just don't know that you know and it's starting to kill you

Well there's a thousand heartbreaks dead at your door

And they wouldn't take money to be you

Lazy old girl caught in the swirl of lasts nights� invitation

You make me want to gnaw on a bone

And my jaw is in very much need of attention



I'm sorry my dear but your future's unclear

And I don't have time to love you

There's a dirty old ghost making the most

Dying on the floor above you

I speculate on why you look great

I never was good with words

But you spent half the time looking behind

And I spent it looking forwards

La la...



Well the stars were pink and the knickers were few

And the whole place smelled of boredom

And you would've gone home with the prettiest boy

Well you would've but you couldn't afford him

In sixteen months you've only smiled once

And you didn't need an invitation

You fell up the stairs the wrong way round

But I didn't have the heart to mention



I'm sorry my dear but your future's unclear

And I don't have time to love you

There's a dirty old ghost making the most

Dying on the floor above you

I speculate on why you look great

I never was good with words

But you spent half the time looking behind

And I spent it looking forwards

La la...
