Carry no bright torches for me...
|
|
You hide under the eiderdown all you can't sweep underneath the carpet
|
When you cover your neighbour's wife scalding marks appear you're talking scarlet
|
Kid yourself that it's platonic love
|
|
Best of friends - Eyes all smiling - Watch them turn to iron filings
|
|
I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
|
I'll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I'll tell her
|
I'm more than some friendly fellow, I will say "How ya doin ?"
|
So casually she never suspects I'm harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
|
I think my mouth's been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
|
You've no shame when Scarlet is your name trust in flames
|
When Scarlet is your name
|
|
Yes he's crying in his sleep, yes he's thoroughly miserable for me
|
Losing his looks for me. Losing
|
|
Certain themes keep recurring, boundaries start a blurring
|
|
I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
|
I'll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I'll tell her
|
I'm more than some friendly fellow, I will say "How ya doin ?"
|
So casually she never suspects I'm harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
|
I think my mouth's been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
|
Oh my God someone tell her - I know she's a star, celestial feast
|
In the zoo of my heart she is thrown to the beast, tell her
|
The mouse here beside her won't always be denied her
|
I've no shame, Scarlet is my name, trust in flames
|
Scarlet is my name
|
|
Carry no bright torches for me
