Lyrics
The Dilettante
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe I'll go travelling and marry a French girl, improve my verbs
And I can tell her that I think that her world is nothing short of superb
Get a cheap flight home, and take her to my mothers
Dream up absurd scenarios where I get on well with her brothers
Take her to town and see how new love beats jealousy
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Who wants to get away, we wanna get away
Let's escape and make mistakes again
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Who wants to get away, we wanna get away
Let's escape and make mistakes again
Maybe I'll unravel and seek solace in Paris, get me away from here
Kick my loafers on the banks of the Saint Martin, it's such a preferable atmosphere
And if you happen to be there, go ahead and make my day
And we can chat about the labour reforms like we know, sipping on a Beaujolais
Take me to town and see how new love beats jealousy
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Who wants to get away, we wanna get away
Let's escape and make mistakes again
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Who wants to get away, we wanna get away
Let's escape and make mistakes again
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Who wants to get away, we wanna get away
Let's escape and make mistakes again
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Who wants to get away, we wanna get away
Let's escape and make mistakes again
