The Flamenco​-​Whore

from I should have been overproduced by Alicia Edelweiss

/

lyrics

You asked me why
I was going to leave
So many times
It made my ears bleed

Oh you know it's just the weather
and mummy didn't love me

Your French just didn't have style
"Vous etes tres belles" never made me smile
When you started with your Spanish
Antonio would razz another tuneage

Oh how sorry I felt for that self of mine
Listening to the Flamenco-whore whine and whine

As we were getting on with it
The Flamenco-whore had one of his fits
Oh my, he had no respect for kids
And I'm pretty sure he saw my tits

Oh I lost all self-control
You had a terrible accent and put it on show
When you said "Je cherche la verité"
I punched you in the face and ran far away
oh I'm so sorry I had to punch you in the face and run run away

Oh you know it's just the weather
Oh and mummy never loved me
As the Flamenco-whore would drink his wine
You knew that girl will never be mine

So I decided that your black curly hair
just wouldn't keep me there
I decided your high-pitched girly laugh
just destroyed all my dreams

And of course I do feel some guilt and shame
But seriously I'm not the one to blame
For you falling in love
with an immature, selfish cunt

Oh but you know it's just the weather
And mummy didn't love me
And the Flamenco-whore would never stop
Just to remind me what real pain was

So I was driven out of town
By your friends and a sad sad clown
And to end this whole story
I thought you were really really boring
But still I'll say sorry
Cause you did cause me slight worry

But as I said it was the weather
and mummy didn't love me

And the Flamenco-whore went on and on
singing all of his heart-breaking songs

If the weather had been better
maybe but probably not, I'd still be in your arms
maybe but probably not, we'd be holding hands
maybe but probably not, I'd stand a minute by your side

But as I said it was the weather
and mummy didn't love me
and noone ever loved me
except for you
so I threw you away
