Vaudeville And Burlesque — текст песни (Marc Almond)

I`ve had my fill of ugly words
I`ve had my fill of lies
When the only truth or beauty now
Is deep within your thighs
The roses are in bloom my dear
I haven`t any fear
That you`ll love me
Like you did last year

Look at me
Do you see
A man against the world
But don`t look at me
And see an unhappy man
With some powder and some paint
And the patience of a saint
I`m still here

My life`s not over yet
I`m not up there on the shelf
I`ve found someone to love
Apart from just myself

I`ve had my fill of bitterness
I`ve had my fill of dirt
I`ve had enough of emptiness
I`ve had enough of hurt
I think we`ll get the last laugh
If we don`t break down and cry

And find the joke`s
On you and I
Look at us
Do you see us in a burlesque show
Look at us are we in vaudeville
We`ve tasted every thrill
Every powder every pill
And we`re still here

I`ve had enough of broken cups
I`ve had enough of scenes
Of other people`s laughter
When we go through our routines
The lilies aren`t in season
So I`ve no reason to fear
That you`ll love me like you
Did last year
That you`ll love me like you
Did last year
That you`ll love me like you
Did last year
