King Horse Lyrics

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]
