When I first saw your gallery |
| [00:14.320] |
I liked the ones of ladies |
| [00:20.020] |
Then you began to hang up me |
| [00:25.350] |
You studied to portray me |
| [00:31.580] |
In ice and greens |
| [00:33.720] |
And old blue jeans |
| [00:36.170] |
And naked in the roses |
| [00:41.780] |
Then you got into funny scenes |
| [00:47.960] |
That all your work discloses |
| [00:51.850] |
|
| [00:53.340] |
"Lady, don't love me now I am dead |
| [00:57.730] |
I am a saint, turn down your bed |
| [01:02.260] |
I have no heart," that's what you said |
| [01:06.400] |
You said, "I can be cruel |
| [01:11.150] |
|
| [01:11.450] |
But let me be gentle with you" |
| [01:17.680] |
Somewhere in a magazine |
| [01:21.560] |
I found a page about you |
| [01:27.490] |
I see that now it's Josephine |
| [01:32.870] |
Who cannot be without you |
| [01:38.610] |
I keep your house in fit repair |
| [01:43.340] |
I dust the portraits daily |
| [01:49.420] |
Your mail comes here from everywhere |
| [01:55.360] |
The writing looks like ladies' |
| [02:00.510] |
|
| [02:00.810] |
"Lady, please love me now, I am dead |
| [02:05.540] |
I am a saint, turn down your bed |
| [02:09.680] |
I have no heart," that's what you said |
| [02:14.320] |
You said, "I can be cruel |
| [02:18.780] |
But let me be gentle with you" |
| [02:24.320] |
|
| [02:25.360] |
I gave you all my pretty years |
| [02:28.160] |
Then we began to weather |
| [02:34.790] |
And I was left to winter here |
| [02:40.520] |
While you went west for pleasure |
| [02:46.410] |
And now you're flying bock this way |
| [02:51.100] |
Like some lost homing pigeon |
| [02:57.130] |
They've monitored your brain, you say |
| [03:03.650] |
And changed you with religion |
| [03:08.100] |
|
| [03:08.450] |
"Lady, please love me now I was dead |
| [03:12.800] |
I am no saint, turn down your bed |
| [03:16.930] |
Lady, have you no heart," that's what you said |
| [03:21.470] |
Well, I can be cruel |
| [03:26.090] |
But let me be gentle with you |
| [03:31.680] |
|
| [03:32.880] |
When I first saw your gallery |
| [03:36.720] |
I liked the ones of ladies |
| [03:41.950] |
But now their faces follow me |
| [03:48.040] |
And all their eyes look shady |
