Lyrics My Mistakes Were Made For You - The Last Shadow Puppets, Alex Turner, Miles Kane

My Mistakes Were Made For You

As subtle as an earthquake I know,
My mistakes were made for you.
And in the back-room of a bad dream she came,
And whisked me away, enthused
And it’s as solid as a rock, rolling down a hill
The fact is that it probably will, hit something
On the hazardous terrain
And we’re just following the flock, round and in-between
Before we’re smashed to smithereens, like they were
And we scrambled from the blame
and it’s the fame that put words in her mouth, she couldn’t help but spit them
out.
Innocence and arrogance intwined
In the filthiest of minds
She was spitting on her birthday, and now
A face in the crowd, she’s not
I suspect that now forever, the shape, she came to escape
Is forgot.
And it’s a lot to ask her not to sting, and give her less than everything
Around your guilty conscience she will wind
And we’re just following the flock, round and in-between
Before we’re smashed to smithereens, like they were
And we scrambled from the blame
and it’s the fame that put words in her mouth, she couldn’t help but spit them
out,
Around your guilty conscience she will wind.
And it’s a lot to ask her not to sting, and give her less than everything,
Innocence and arrogance intwined
