The Last Shadow Puppets - 'My Mistakes Were Made For You'

My Mistakes Were Made For You
The Last Shadow Puppets

About as subtle as an earthquake, I know
My mistakes were made for you

And in the back room of a bad dream, she came
And whisked me away, enthused

And it's solid as a rock rolling down a hill
The fact is that it probably will hit something
On the hazardous terrain.

And we're just following the flock, around
And the in-between, before we're smashed to smithereens -
Like they were, and we scramble from the blame.
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth
She couldnt help, but spit 'em out
Innocence and arrogance intwined
In the filthiest of minds

She was bitten on her birthday, and now
A face in the crowd, she's not
And I suspect that now - forever the shape
She came to escape - is forgot
And it's alot to ask and not to sting
Give her less than everything
Around your crooked conscious she will wind.

'Cos we're just following the flock around
And the in-between
Before we're smashed to smithereens
Like they were, and we scramble from the blame
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth
She couldnt help, but spit 'em out
Around your crooked conscious she will wind
And it's a lot to ask and not to sting
Giver her less than everything
Innocence and arrogance intwined
