Lavender versuri

Versuri Marc Almond – Lavender lyrics

Intro:
Hello I’m Tab Hunter and I’ve got a secret

Mauve cravat and corduroy jeans
Well we all know what that means
A halo of curls for satyricon girls
Our lady of the flowers
Grows shadier by the hours
Lady Stardust, Judy Teen
In your own moonage daydream
Blusher smeared across your cheeks
Kohl that’s stayed around for weeks
Smudged on your eyes
A Bieber disguise
Maybelline in shades of green
Coloured up your teenage scene
Light of foot and limp of knees in the 1970’s
Last night’s panstick on yesterday’s grime
You displayed all your bruises
While I covered all mine
Elusive, mercurial, effeminate, ethereal
They whisper you swish by
Your eyes up to the sky

Lavender, lavender
He’s got a touch of lavender
Lilac and lavender, lavender

Heartache noir, leaving a scar
Exploring all the shades to be
Through life’s black and white TV
St. Dirk of Bogarde
Showed you what to discard
So you splashed on some Brut and lowered your voice
When Charlie was really your choice
Last night’s lurex gave yesterday shine
You held on to your sparkle
While I lost all mine
Those long drunken nights with
The misfits and rebels
Playing the angel while sleeping with devils

Lavender, lavender
He’s got a touch of lavender
Lilac and lavender, lavender

And this is the part
Where you get beaten up
But you’re saved by a quip
And a whole lot of luck
Frankie and Charlie have gone
Now Larry and Kenny
Once they all had a beard
Sadly now don’t have any
Last night’s indiscretion was yesterday’s crime
You stayed true to yourself
But I was poisoned by my time
Elusive, mercurial, piss elegant, ephemeral
They whisper you swish by
Your eyes up to the sky
The renters on the telly
In their fake leather jackets say
„She’s here on the meat rack”
Knowing all of the racket
Where everything’s gift-wrapped
And coming in packets
Just a knock on the door to some club
Where no need to say more

Lavender, lavender
He’s got a touch of lavender
Lilac and lavender, lavender

So much there’s not to say
You don’t have to anyway
