Orchid Girl — текст песни (Aztec Camera)

Words and music by roddy frame





What do you mean by beauty lain

I hope you know the consequences

cos beauty wounds will make us strong

With truth well test our old defenses

And all my friends will make amends

Theyre green and grey and gold and groovy

And reconciled theyll shake and smile

Smile at me as though they knew me



And judge this world through jaundiced eyes

Theyre sold too soon and none too wise

Their big blue God is in the sky

Orchid girl dont spend your money



They asked me what the meek would get

Pictured me afraid to answer

I told them that when thoughts entombed

Then love will show its root in cancer

The sweet disorder in your eye

Has drawn me here through graves and gardens

Im going in youre going in here are your smokes

Your jokes youre getting soaked Im angry and my

Fists are pocketed



Well judge this world through jaundiced eyes

Were sold too soon and none too wise

The big blue God is in the sky

He takes the blame and never cries

But orchid girl youd make my day

Youd blow their cloud of crap away

If you would just refuse to pay



Orchid girl youd make my day
