Here Comes the Serious Bit
The Long Blondes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And that the thing I haven't told you yet

[Chorus]
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here comes the serious bit
Here comes the serious bit
Here it comes
Here it comes
Here comet the serious bit
Here comes the serious bit

Our friends say they are fun
And film stars they are fun
I like to just for once
But the milky beside had it hard
Even Cleopatra found it unnatural sign times
And thats the thing I haven't told you yet

[Chorus]

[Repeat: x2]
I could be a shoulder to cry on
Or I could be a body to lie on
But don't ask me for more than that

[Chorus]

Here it comes [Repeat: x2]




Do you know that its you
Here comes the serious bit [Repeat: x4]
