Johnny Flynn - Little Yellow Dress

 

 

We slipped out under cover of champagne
You tried to kiss me by the dollar save
Instead I took your hand as we rolled around the aisles
Filling up our pockets with aspartame

And your little yellow dress
Made me go ballistic
So I begged you not to change it
And so you never did

I’m so glad
That you disappeared when things got bad
And I cut off all my hair
You swore I would stay forever
Pissed in boots and jeans
Pegged at the ankle by the seam
You checked out before I started rioting
Could you hear the sirens from the backstreet?

And your little yellow dress
Oh girl you’re so sadistic
You let me underneath it
But now you keep it hid

I’m so glad
That you disappeared when things got bad
And I cut off all my hair

I still keep my money in a pillow on my bed
And yes the black dog’s still following
You would find it funny, maybe hysterical
But I still believe in miracles

And your little yellow dress
You thought you were a mystic
You thought you could predict it
But you never could

You your little yellow dress
Made me go ballistic
I never will forget it
And I never should
