Alas Agnes (James Ford Mix - Album version)

Alas Agnes - Mystery Jets

Agnes It all ended up in tears

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

And I couldn't tell if you were boy or girl

My mind was in such a swirl

It was a case of grist to the mill

True love grows it grows where it will

Alas oh Agnes I still adore you

Oh Agnes

Oh Agnes it all ended up in tears

But you still have your souvenirs

You've got scars from head to toe

It's getting hard to tell your friends from foes

When you picked me up at the station

After my back street operation

You broke me you broke the painful news

You dumped me you dumped me for a pretty young muse

So the lessons are there to learn

My scars are caused my cigarette burns

I have no mirrors and I spend my days

Reminiscing on your porcelain gaze

Alas oh Agnes I still adore you

Oh Agnes Oh Agnes Oh Agnes Oh Agnes
