Philomena

(albüm: What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World - 2015)

Oh, Philomena, you in a tawdry gown,
Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down.
A cure to your boredom if only you'd let me go
Down, down down

Long summer days can lead to lazy vices
Boys all at idle, left to their own devices
Open up your linen lap and let me go
Down, down, down

All that I wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl
But I found I quickly bored. I wanted more. I wanted more

So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
And I'll be your lashing loop of a leatherette
And dark Philomena, if only you'd let me go
Down, down down

All that I wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl
But I found I quickly bored. I wanted more, oh, so much more

So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
And I'll be your lashing loop of a leatherette
And dark Philomena, if only you'd let me go
Down, down down

Go down, down, down
Go down
Go down
