Do You Love Me? (Part 2) |
| Onward! |
| And Onward! |
| And Onward I go Where no man before could be bothered to go Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes |
| And it’s all downhill with a bullet |
| This ramblin' and rovin' has taken it’s course |
| I’m grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses |
| And the city streets crack and a great hole forces |
| Me down with my soapbox, my pulpit |
| The theatre ceiling is silver star spangled |
| And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle |
| Do you love me? |
| Do you love me? |
| Do you love me? |
| Do you love me? |
| There’s a man in the theatre with girlish eyes |
| Who’s holding my childhood to ransom |
| On the screen there’s a death, |
| there’s a rustle of cloth |
| And a sickly voice calling me handsome |
| There’s a man in the theatre with sly girlish eyes |
| On the screen there’s an ape, a gorilla |
| There’s a groan, there’s a cough, there’s a rustle of cloth |
| And a voice that stinks of death and vanilla |
| This is a secret, mauled and mangled |
| And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle |
| Do you love me? |
| Do you love me? |
| Do you love me? |
| Do you love me? |
| The walls in the ceiling are painted in blood |
| The lights go down, the red curtains come apart |
| The room is full of smoke and dialogue I know by heart |
| And the coins in my pocket jingle-jangle |
| As the great screen crackled and popped |
| And the clock of my boyhood was wound down and stopped |
| And my handsome little body oddly propped |
| And my trousers right down to my ankles |
| Yes, onward! |
| And upward! |
| And I’m off to find love |
| Do you love me? |
| If you do, I’m thankful |
| Do you love me? |
| Do you love me? |
| Do you love me? |
| Do you love me? |
| This city is an ogre squatting by the river |
| It gives life but it takes it away, my youth |
| There comes a time when you just cannot deliver |
| This is a fact. |
| This is a stone cold truth. |
| Do you love me? |
| I love you, handsome. |
| But do you love me? |
| Yes, I love you, you are handsome |
| Amongst the cogs and the wires, my youth |
| Vanilla breath and handsome apes with girlish eyes |
| Dreams that roam between truth and untruth |
| Memories that become monstrous lies |
| So onward! |
| And Onward! |
| And Onward I go! |
| Onward! |
| And Upward! |
| And I’m off to find love |
| With blue-black bracelets on my wrists and my ankles |
| And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle |
| Do you love me? |
