Party Tattoos Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take a look at the clock
Only so long to go
Scrubbing smooth young skin
Saying "I don't know"
Grab a bag, grab a bottle but leave the what if;
You'll see it in the morning after your kicks
[Verse 2]
All you will need for a rocking good time
Is a bunch of people who don't give a damn
There's a yes, in your head, gotta find where it's at
You'll lose it in the morning but ignore that
[Chorus]
We're not bruised
They're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess
Is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
Regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
[Verse 3]
My mummy said to always wear a coat
But it's warm and it's heavy and we're trying to float
Don't forget, she'll be right when it's 3 a.m
So shiver, but shiver with a friend
[Chorus]
We're not bruised
They're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess
Is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
[Chorus]
We're not bruised
They're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess
Is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
Regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
[Verse 4]
Write a postcard to you at 84
Tell her you'd never dream of living behind a door
Life was fun, full of love, full of hopeful smiles
Bet you wish you were here, but I'll see you in a while
[Chorus]
We're not bruised
They're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess
Is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
[Chorus]
We're not bruised
They're just party tattoos
And that colourful mess
Is just colourful regret
Black lipstick will never be a sin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
We'll regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin
Regret it when we're old with wrinkled up skin

What is the inspiration for the song?
The inspiration for “Party Tattoos” comes from a friend of a friend. I was staying around my friends in L.A., funnily enough (I live in London). Her flatmate walks through the door and she’s covered in bruises and I’m like, “What on earth happened? Where were you last night? What’s going on?” And sh...
What was the writing process for "Party Tattoos" like?
I wanted this song to feel very colorful, very messy. I wrote it after I went out and I got very, very, very drunk. I was very ill for, like, three days afterwards, and I wrote it to forgive myself, to kind of talk to myself before I went out, and then afterwards. It’s a metaphor for life lessons an...
