"Flapper Girl" lyrics
"Flapper Girl"
Cut off all of your hair
Did you flinch, did you care
Did he look, did he stop and stare
At your brand new hair
Local boy, local news
Power lines hanging boots
Firemen in their trucks cut loose
A local boy's shoes
Cadillac, Cadillac
Businessmen dressed in slacks
I'm 'a buy one for us when I get back
A big Cadillac
And you can wave to all of your friends
And I'll never leave you again
Would you write, would you call back, baby
If I wrote you a song
I been gone but you're still my lady
And I need you at home
Romeo, Juliet
Balcony, silhouette
Making Os with her cigarette
It's Juliet
Flapper girl, flapper girl
Prohibition in curls
Hair of gold and a neck of pearls
It's flapper girl
And you can wave to all of your friends
And I'll never leave you again
Would you write, would you call back, baby
If I wrote you a song
I been gone but you're still my lady
And I need you at home
'Cause if you ain't behind my door
Then I ain't got a home anymore
Would you write, would you call back, baby
If I wrote you a song
I been gone but you're still my lady
And I need you at home
Lovers come, lovers go
Lovers leave me alone
She'll come back to me

Bon Iver - "Beach Baby" When you're out tell your lucky one
To know that you'll leave
