Originally off their EP Being Bored, “Belt Loops was one of the Films' first bigger songs. It follows the story of a man recovering from a recent casual breakup, presumably the indirect result of his ex’s disinterest and infidelity.
Well she said jealousy is something that distracts you
I said it's hard to focus with your fingers in his belt loops
And there was that dream about you naked in the bathroom
Telephone just rang I heard you say I'll call you back soon
He's been waiting in the alley for an hour
She's been powdering her nose in the shower
I've been tryin' to figure out where it went sour
But I think the ringing in my ears is getting louder
Hold out your hand, and
Take it easy
I already know what's been going on
I knew it all along, so just
Take it easy
You acted surprised and I just rolled my eyes
It's gonna be alright
She's like a devil in a dark shade of lipstick
An unassuming sort of X-rated misfit
Her bottle's shook up, all you've gotta do is twist it
Before you get a chance you'll already have missed it
He's got his arm around her looking like an actress
Agenda driven heathen posing like a baptist
Subtle proposition will you fit him in your track list
Maybe you'll just get right down to wearing out the mattress
Take what you can, and
Take it easy
I already know what's been going on
I knew it all along, so just
Take it easy
You acted surprised and I just rolled my eyes
It's gonna be alright
Take it easy
I already know what's been going on
I knew it all along, so just
Take it easy
You acted surprised and I just rolled my eyes
It's gonna be alright
Just so we're straight and you don't get the wrong impression
Don't need a silly little overdue confession
Just remember when you're over at his house undressing
He's just another sucker who's about to learn a lesson
