Mauve cravat and corduroy jeans |
|
Well we all know what that means |
|
A halo of curls |
|
For Satyricon girls |
|
Our Lady of the flowers |
|
Grows shadier by the hours |
|
Lady Stardust, Judy Teen |
|
In your own Moonage Daydream |
|
Blusher smeared across your cheeks |
|
Kohl that stayed around for weeks |
|
Smudged on your eyes |
|
A Biba disguise |
|
Maybelline in shades of green |
|
Coloured up your teenage scene |
|
Light of fot and limp of knees |
|
In the 1970's |
|
Last night's panstick |
|
On yesterday's grime |
|
You displayed all bruises |
|
While I covered all mine |
|
Elusive mercurial |
|
Effeminate ethereal |
|
They whisper you swish by |
|
Your eyes up to the sky |
|
Lavender, lavender |
|
He's got a touch of lavender |
|
Lilac and lavender |
|
Lavender |
|
Heartache Noir leaving a scar |
|
Exploring all the shades to be |
|
Through life's black and white TV |
|
St. Dirk of Bogarde |
|
Showed you what to discard |
|
So you splashed on some Brut |
|
And lowered your voice |
|
When Charlie was really your choice |
|
Last nights Lurex gave yesterday shine |
|
You held on to your sparkle |
|
While I lost all mine |
|
Those long drunken nights |
|
With the misfits and rebels |
|
Playing the angel |
|
While slepping with devils |
|
Lavender, lavender |
|
He's got a touch of lavender |
|
Lilac and lavender |
|
Lavender |
|
And this is the part |
|
Where you'd get beaten up |
|
But you're saved by a quip |
|
And a whole lot of luck |
|
Frankie and Charlie have gone |
|
Now Larry and Kenny |
|
Once they all had a beard |
|
Sadly now don't have any |
|
Last night's indiscretion |
|
Was yesterday's crime |
|
You stayed true to yourself |
|
But I was poisoned by my time |
|
Elusive mercurial |
|
Piss-elegant ephemeral |
|
They whisper you swish by |
|
Your eyes up to the sky |
|
The renters on the 'Dilly |
|
In their fake leather jackets |
|
Say she's 'ere on the meat rack |
|
Knowing all of the rackets |
|
Where everything's gift wrapped |
|
And coming in packets |
|
Just a knock on the door to some |
|
Club where no need to say more |
|
Lavender, lavender |
|
He's got a touch of lavender |
|
Lilac and lavender |
|
Lavender |
|
So much there's not to say |
|
You don't have to anyway |
