St. Bibiana Lyrics by The Shackletons

Second Attempt

2017

[Verse 1]
Wipe my forearm across my brow
As I realize what's goin' down
Then you see me, smilin' uneasy
Behind the wheel of your mother's truck
I spent all night running cigarettes
To bridesmaids, women in dresses
And all that I got out of this mess
Is I found where my wit's end is
Say it loud, won't say it proud
Go anywhere with you except St. Cloud
[Chorus]
Then you tell me that I'm barbed wire
And you're Steve McQueen on a motorbike
Raise a glass for St. Bibiana
'Cause I think we're both gonna need her
[Verse 2]
I had the Pogues in my headphones
In the backseat on my way home
"Dirty Old Town" rattled my skull
Wishin' that last night was more dull
And it's unfair how it ended
And then it started again then ended
And it's no use bein' offended
On a situation so complicated
Flats, not heels and unkempt hair
It's hard not to go back and stop and stare
[Chorus]
Then you tell me that I'm barbed wire
And you're Steve McQueen on a motorbike
Raise a glass for St. Bibiana
'Cause I think we're both gonna need her
Is there anything I can do
To make this night more smooth for you?
Got turned away at the door
'Cause the Xs on your hands from the night before
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Then you tell me that I'm barbed wire
And you're Steve McQueen on a motorbike
Raise a glass for St. Bibiana
'Cause I think we're both gonna need her
[Chorus]
Then you tell me that I'm barbed wire
And you're Steve McQueen on a motorbike
Raise a glass for St. Bibiana
'Cause I think we're both gonna need her
I think we're both gonna need her
(I think we're both gonna need her)
I know that I'm gonna need her
(Yeah, I think we're both gonna need her)
