Do Me a Favour

Album: Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007)

  • Well, the morning was complete
    Where there was tears on the steering wheel, dripping on the seat
    Several hours or several weeks
    I'd have the cheek to say they're equally as bleak

    It's the beginning of the end
    The car went up the hill and disappeared around the bend
    Ask anyone, they'll tell you
    That it's these times that it tends
    To start to break in half, to start to fall apart
    Hold on to your heart

    And do me a favor and break my nose
    Or do me a favor and tell me to go away
    Or do me a favor and stop asking questions

    Well, she walked away while her shoes were untied
    When the eyes were all red
    You could see that we'd cried
    And I watched, and I waited 'til she was inside
    Forcing a smile and waving goodbye

    Curiosity becomes a heavy load
    Too heavy to hold, too heavy to hold
    Curiosity becomes a heavy load
    Too heavy to hold, will force you to be cold

    And do me a favor, and ask, if you need some help
    She said, do me a favor, and stop flattering yourself
    And to tear apart the ties that bind
    Perhaps "fuck off" might be too kind
    Perhaps "fuck off" might be too kind Writer/s: Alex Turner
