lyrics

He prides himself on his sharpness of tongue,
So we spoke in riddles; competitive fun
A charming enigma, we rolled into one
But speaking in riddles, well it gets fuck all done

I climbed into his bed, in his arms, in his head
And he claimed that I stole his heart from him
But he knows what he is and he knows what he says
He'll say anything to leave some impression

I said, oh you're a clever man
He said, I'm not as clever as you think I am
And you should know we're all fools when it comes to love and desire
But I'll let it pass, 'cause August is over
August is over

Mr Elusive, may I be so bold
To look into your eyes, forget what I'm told
Maybe you love and maybe you don't
But I don't believe in that rock and roll front

He thinks he's Bob Dylan and I have been warned
But I thought I knew who the narcissists were
I cried at his doorstep, or at least what once was
He played his game well, he's a brain for a heart

I said, oh you're a clever man
He said, I'm not as clever as you think I am
And you should know we're all fools when it comes to love and desire
But I'll let it pass, 'cause August is over
August is over

He wants to be wanted but he doesn't want me
And I won't believe it 'til I hear him speak
And that's the real reason why he'll never tell me
Keep me on hold and act like it hurts you,
Well I know you of old 'cause I've done the same thing too
We both know you'd rather be clever and cold

I said, oh you're a clever man
You should know we're all fools when it comes to love and desire
But I'll let it pass, 'cause August is over
August is over

about

Simeon Hammond Dallas London, UK

“wickedly-badass pint-sized powerhouse”

Simeon Hammond Dallas is a singer-songwriter from London’s Camden Town. An overactive mind and a desire to live a life like a travel montage from a rom-com provide the inspiration for her music; a folky bluesy country-soul amalgamation. An enemy of dichotomy, her music is soft and vulnerable while packing a punch at the same time. ... more
