The Age Of The Understatement

Decided
 To sneak off away from your stomach
 And try your pulse
 They captured
 What seemed all unknowing and candid
 But they suspected it was false
 ♪
 She's playful
 The boring would warn you, be careful
 Of her brigade
 In order
 To tame this relentless marauder
 Move away from the parade
 She was walking on the tables in the glasshouse
 Endearingly bedraggled in the wind
 Subtle in her method of seduction
 Twenty little tragedies begin
 ♪
 And she would throw her feather-boa in the road
 If she thought that it would set the scene
 Unfittingly dipped into your companions
 Enlightened them to make you seethe
 And there's affection to rent
 The age of the understatement
 Before the attraction ferments
 Kiss me properly and pull me apart
 Affection to rent
 The age of the understatement
 Before this attraction ferments
 Kiss me properly and pull me apart
 ♪
 And my fingers scratch at my hair
 Before my mind can get too reckless
 The idea of seeing you here
 Is enough to make the sweat go cold
