Lust in the Movies Songtext
von The Long Blondes

A svelte young man, eighteen lovers to his name.
Well if the rumours are true then eighteen lovers came crawling back again.
I don′t feel well.
I've got this rattling in my chest.
My doctor said that I should give it up because I′m clinically obsessed.

I know you think you're in the movies.
You're in the movies that don′t wanna know me.
Well I know all about fear and desire, I know all about lust et cetera.

I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart.


A sweet young girl, dressed to the nines in Cacharel.
Oh, under the weather my heels click together, and following her is hell.
I feel quite ill.
I′ve got this rattling in my chest.
My doctor said that I should give it up, I need to get some rest.

I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart.
I just want to be a sweetheart.

So never, neve, never try to tell me it's a pleasure being alone.
All I have here with me are the records and the books that I own.

Nag, nag, nag.
Nag, nag, nag.
Nag, nag, nag.
Nag, nag, nag.

I just want to be a sweetheart.
