Lavender |
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 |
