Frank Turner - Casanova Lament Lyrics
I check that I've got all my things before I leave the house,
Because when I'm gone I'm never coming back.
I'm not being melodramatic, it's just I neither have your number or a key.
An evening spent pretending that we're just becoming friends,
Or this goes any further than going back;
It isn't love, but every time I kind of wish it was.
I've picked up this silly habit in the last few years of going out
In the evening with my friends into the town,
Of packing a spare T-shirt in my bag in case I do not make it home.
It's pathetic and I know it, but the truth is there've been mornings
I've proved prudent taking toothpaste to the pub.
But that's precious little comfort against the knowledge of the person I've become.
And I can see that in your eyes you wish it was,
But every time I leave you just because
It isn't love.

Frank Turner Casanova Lament Comments
love frank since my earliest teenage years, why didn't I know this song? ❤
Every time I see an old Frank video my first thought is damn im glad he cut his hair lol
ohhh shit this song is about my bf.....damn :'(
7 years later, still haven't heard a bad song from him
Alfonzo Cysjejiose What about 12 years later 😢
I've proved prudent taking toothpaste to the pub
That's actually true with almost all of Frank's songs, at least for me. I guess being a politically active twentysomething helps with that.
I really love this song, but I Really hate the fact it describes me, perfectly.
FTHC
Hey haha this is late notice, but the word is "prudent".
it's funny how he wears the same jacket and carries the same guitar case in the video for "the real damage"
Alot of people complain that this song is too short; but I think it's damn perfect! Every line of it has such a powerful meaning & is sung with such dedication and you can tell that he means every word of it. When it ends, you're left with almost a sad feeling...If it went on any longer it probably wouldn't have the same affect without becoming tedious.
<3
i was working when this song came on, Ii stopped me dead....
two people are utterly miserable beings that I feel sorry for...
@buryyourashesuk we're awesome. defiance, ohio is better. also, i play punk now, me and my acoustic frankie (not named after frank turner)
this is AMAZINGGGGGGGG. this song will convert me to listen to Frank's work
This. Is. Truly. IMMENSE! Check it out hehe!!
Cheers!

@merlion93 well i guess you could say all his songs are folk punk. if you want to know more bands check out stuff like defiance, ohio and against me!
@merlion93 why does it matter?
It looks like Brighton station to me.. Not sure though.
gutted i couldnt see him in october :(
still march is better than none
Ahhh October the 18th.
I do look forward to this date.
It's the way he turns it around. He's not boasting about the notches on his bedpost, it's all presented as a huge regret and how he wishes he could find something more meaningful than the line of one night stands
Frank Turner is the Anti-Craig-David.
million dead
franks old band
this is possibly my favourite song ever
"There've been mornings I've proved prudent taking toothpaste to the pub" :)
the verse melody is very similar to real damage i think
was this a millers song originally
Wow - just realised that this was filmed in Brighton...Nice Video!
great video lars
