Cheap cut satin and bad perfume

Showtime is almost here

Teased up by a strip cartoon

Laughing up your sleeve

Sniggering in your beer

He`d seen the bottom of a lot of glasses

But he`d never seen love so near

He`d seen love get so expensive

But he`d never seen love get so dear



Now I know that you`re all King Horse

Between tenderness and brute force (repeat)



She can turn upon a sixpence in the mouth and trousers set

Hit the bill, ring the bell, never spill a sip

And still she knows the kind of tip that she is gonna get

A lot of loose exchanges, precious little respect

When it`s someone else`s weekend

That`s the best you can expect



[Chorus]

So fond of the fabric

So fond of fabrication

From comic books to tragic

Through the heart of complications



Meanwhile back in some secluded spot

He says `will you please?` and she says `stop`

If I ever lose this good thing that I've got

I never want to hear the song you dedicated tonight

'Cause I knew that song so long before we met

That it means much more than it might



[Chorus]
