lyrics

Twenty-one things I don't want in a lover
Twenty-one things I don't want in a lover
If you're in this list, don't even bother
You're one of
Twenty-one things I don't want in a lover
For a start, I don't like dead people
Or people who have been dead
I hate people who play racquet sports
They make me see red

People who have long showers
They're so selfish,
People who have cats, who are cats, or like the musical "Cats"

In fact, I'm going to have to lump all animals, insects, and fish into one category
Otherwise I'd end up with twenty-one things and still have billions to go

Twenty-one things I don't want in a lover
Twenty-one things I don't want in a lover
If you're Keith Richards or Danny Glover
Then you're one of the things I don't want in a lover

If you've ever been sprung picking up boys in Government cars, allegedly
If you've ever made crap television shows then there'll be two in the family
If you've ever been sprung having sex with your best mate's missus, allegedly
Unless I'm the missus - ha! - which I wouldn't be

I-I-I...
I-I-I-I-I...
I-I...haven't written any lyrics for this bit

I hate Van Halen, there, I said it
"Mission Brown" is not one of my favourites
I once played God in a movie and I didn't like the caterer
People who listen to music while making love, especially if they're wearing headphones
I'm sick of meeting men with rare or pedigree cheese in their pockets.

Twenty-one things I don't want in a lover
Twenty-one things I don't want in a lover
I can't get close to you if you're made of lava
Then you're one of
twenty-one...
Tripod: ... things I don't want in a lover.
I-I-I...
I-I-I-I-I...
I-I...
Scod: ... liked this bit so much I did it twice.

Yon: Yeah!
Yon: Twenty-one...
Tripod: ... things I don't want in a lover,
Yon: Twenty-one...
Tripod: ... things I don't want in a lover.
Yon: If you're better than me on a harmonica,
If you didn't buy my second album,
If you're one of those three members of Tripod,
Then you're one of
Twenty-one things I don't want in a lover.

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
by Austin Wintory

supported by 12 fans who also own “21 Things I Don't Want in a Lover”

Despite the lighthearted bombastic intentions of the main campaign, Syndicate turned out to be a very intimate and melancholic experience that leaves me with more farsickness than anything else. Austin's soundtrack played a huge role and every time I hear its wonderful verves, it brings me back to these beautiful feelings. Lovely music all throughout. replicant_hazard
