Lust of the libertine
Is really quite tame
Well it rages quiet now here beside you
And your lust for fame
But fame's such a sinister game
It will all end this way then
Some things won't be the same
Just a face and a name, on a page
But I'll be soundly sleeping
I'll sleep right through this age
Cause I can deal with all
The blood on my shoes
And the holes in my soul
My spirit all tainted
All my tears are painted
Just so long as you
You don't forget to uh uh oh
Cut me on the wall
By the graffiti of all the things
I just couldn't say
Shove me up the wall
Oh my darling
It was a kind of loving
But you left me in that family way again
The dust on my tambourine
Really can be explained
Well I need to shake it more often
I need to shake away the blame
Fame's such a sinister game
The taste of goulash in your mouth
As you stumble offstage
I can deal with all
The blood on my shoes
And the holes in my soul
My spirit all tainted
All my tears are painted
But just so long as you
You don't forget to uh uh oh
Cut me on the wall
By the graffiti of all the things
I just couldn't say
Well shove me up the wall
Oh my darling
It was a kind of loving
But it left me in the family way again
Sha-la-la-la..
