Bittersweet
Honours Tea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Yeah, yeah)
Nah...
So bittersweet though
Sky high, harrier
Lemon in the carrier
In the carry on
Cersei Lannister
Fire like Bannister
Dragon form obsidian
Douwwwer's got me flying
Above horizons meridians
Life has thrown me curve balls
Choked til I gurgled
Felt like jumping hurdles
Incapacitated circles
Seismic moves keep bubbling
The Montrachet is pouring
Salary is lovely
But the dream is more important
Flying now with codies
Godz are here at long last
Circles tight, no phonies
No snakes up in the long grass
Paragraphs of memories I haven't had
I'm plotting bro
Of oyster eating, oyster gleaming
Off the coast of Monaco
Want it then you gotta show
Existence will conspire
To show you it is possible
To have your hearts desires
Cannonball off the roof
Slipping on the wet tiles
Cuban links
Strong as fuck
Firm the pressure
Tensile
Standardly I dazzle 'em
Crispy egg sarnie cooked by
Emily from Basildon
Dangle by the ankle
Man handle whip
Hamilton
Schuey in the corner
G-Force contortion
Made the race pace important
Shoe game is offkey
Knock knee with Spock speed
My axis galactic
Scent sweeten the hot breeze
Singularity
Slap gallantly with the gauntlet
Cheek warm like hot faucet
Largest portion when I'm ordering swordfish
Lemon butter chives
Glad to be alive
Crushed potato
Albarino
Toasting to the life
Spit with suicide
Ride dirty in the iron wagon
Smoke Twirl
Puffing on the finest
Of the magic dragons
Sacred Flowers from the feminine
Sweetest medicine
Competitive until the record spin
Buzz like amphetamine
Shit
I get it gully in the mezzanine
London with a clever lean
Stunning with a Pedigree
Posing in photos
Wanted to be Tony
I'd settle for Manolo
Wanted a Rollie
I'd settle for a Rolo
Honours drop a boat load
Goes down like Acapulco
Slowmo of the action in the promo
Oh Oh
Godz going global
I'm taking scalps
Eating Scandinavian cuisine
While skiing in the alps
The vista is preposterous
It's brightening the attitude
Living off the cuff
So what's the longitude
And latitude
We posted
Setting sun glimmer golden on oceans
Fine wine, aperitif, limoncello and potent
The remedy for rope a dope
Shit I know this
You can't rope a dope
Who won't forget where the rope is
The rope is
