frank turner – romantic fatigue lyrics
i have to admit that i am one of the many
who thought that a guitar would win him a lady.
my teenage years, they were a feminine drought,
and i thought that a serenade would help out.
and it seemed to be working for a couple of years –
i wrote a few songs and they wrought a few tears.
but when i hit my twenties, it ran out of steam.
i seemed to be suffering from romantic fatigue.
and i never know which song i should play her –
each melody is a memory of a not-forgotten failure.
so when i get out my guitar tonight to do what i do,
remember, i probably didn’t write this song for you.
so as i have mentioned, the shelf-life was short.
the scheme wasn’t working, despite what i thought.
the ladies all left me alone in the end,
so i had to switch all the names around and then sing it again.
and every life-long love, and every best friend,
slipped away into the past.
take my words with caution – i can’t pretend that you’re the first,
you won’t be the last.
i never know which song i should play her –
each melody is a memory of a not-forgotten failure.
so when i get out my guitar tonight to do what i do,
remember, i probably didn’t write this song,
no i certainly didn’t write this song,
no i never, never wrote a song for you.
