The Refreshments – Fonder And Blonder lyrics

No more negotiations dear
I'm runnin? out of patience here
Whisper congratulations in my ear when it's clear
That we've got nothing much left to say
The monuments the maps
The skylines and the tourist traps
Would all do well if they collapsed
And send you runnin? back here to me

Well, Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too
I felt something slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down on you

Could you be more specific dear
Tell me what is so terrific here
Don't be too scientific but make it clear
And never fear I'll be scratchin? it down my nails in clay, hey

Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
In all the pictures that you send me now your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too
I felt something slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down on you

Yeah, have another sedative
It gets so repetitive and don't do a damn to help me feel OK
Another prayer for me, hear from you
There will be a very nice affair
But will it help me through the day, yeah

Well, Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
In all the pictures that you send me now your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too
I felt something slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down on you
