She gave herself
They took her to their hearts
Clapped their hands till sore
Once more eyes smart
Taxidermist gave life to Hugh
It sits and begs
And stares at you
Since when did you cook breakfast for
Lieutenant Paul
In ruined mirador
This lease on life
Can tie you down
So precious is the jagged crown
Talk to me I’ll stay these vagabond nights
Walk with me someone is waiting in light
Exchanging worlds, arranging days
To suit a lover
Who’ll never stay
Breakfast skies
Bring curtains down
Upon a crumbling lacquered gown
A crumbling lacquered gown
Talk to me as to these vagabond nights
Walk with me someone is waiting in light
There were some amazing songs in the 80s but the videos were arse. I think listening to this without watching the video changes the whole thing. The videos look so dated but the music sounds as new and amazing to me now as it did 30 years ago.
