Alas Agnes - Mystery Jets

Well we were an odd couple you and I

In our strange and original attire

I thought, I thought it was love at first sight

My mother, my mother, she shivered with fright

Well I couldn’t tell if you were boy or girl

My mind was in such a swirl

I couldn’t tell if you were boy or girl

True love roams, it roams where it will

Alas, Oh Agnes

I still adore you, oh Agnes

Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes

Agnes it all ended up in tears

Mind, you still have your souvenirs

You’ve got scars from head to toe

It’s getting hard to tell your friends from foe

Well, you picked me up at King’s Cross station

After my backstreet operation

You broke me, you broke the painful news

You dumped me, you dumped me for a pretty young muse

Well my lessons they are there to learn

My scars are caused by cigarette burns

I have no memories and I spend all day

Balancing the porcelain

Alas, Oh Agnes

I still adore you, oh Agnes

Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes

Oh Agnes I adore you

Oh Agnes I adore you

Oh Agnes I adore you

Oh Agnes I still adore you
