Mother Of Pearl |
| Turn the lights down |
| Way down low |
| Turn up the music |
| Hi as fi can go All the gang’s here |
| Everyone you know |
| It’s a crazy scene |
| Hey there just look over your shoulder |
| Get the picture' |
| No no no no …(Yes) |
| Walk a tightrope |
| Your life-sign-line |
| Such a bright hope |
| Right place, right time |
| What’s your number' |
| Never you mind |
| Take a powder |
| But hang on a minute what’s coming round the corner' |
| Have you a future' |
| No no no no …(Yes) |
| Well I’ve been up all night again |
| Party-time wasting is too much fun |
| Then I step back thinking |
| Of life’s inner meaning |
| And my latest fling |
| It’s the same old story |
| All love and glory |
| It’s a pantomime |
| If you’re looking for love |
| In a looking glass world |
| It’s pretty hard to find |
| Oh mother of pearl |
| I wouldn’t trade you |
| For another girl |
| Divine intervention |
| Always my intention |
| So I take my time |
| I’ve been looking for something |
| I’ve always wanted |
| But was never mine |
| But now I’ve seen that something |
| Just out of reach — glowing — |
| Very Holy grail |
| Oh mother of pearl |
| Lustrous lady |
| Of a sacred world |
| Thus: even Zarathustra |
| Another-time-loser |
| Could believe in you |
| With every goddess a let down |
| Every idol a bring down |
| It gets you down |
| But the search for perfection |
| Your own predilection |
| Goes on and on and on and on Canadian Club love |
| A place in the Country |
| Everyone’s ideal |
| But you are my favorita |
| And a place in your heart dear |
| Makes me feel more real |
| Oh mother of pearl |
| I wouldn’t change you |
| For the whole world |
| You’re highbrow, holy |
| With lots of soul |
| Melancholy shimmering |
| Serpentine sleekness |
| Was always my weakness |
| Like a simple tune |
| But no dilettante |
| Filigree fancy |
| Beats the plastic you |
| Career girl cover |
| Exposed and another |
| Slips right into-view |
| Oh looking for love |
| In a looking glass world |
| Is pretty hard for you |
| Few throwaway kisses |
| The boomerang misses |
| Spin round and round |
| Fall on featherbed quilted |
| Faced with silk |
| Softly stuffed eider down |
| Take refuge in pleasure |
| Just give me your future |
| We’ll forget your past |
| Oh mother of pearl |
| Submarine lover |
| In a shrinking world |
| Oh lonely dreamer |
| Your choker provokes |
| A picture cameo |
| Oh mother of pearl |
| So so semi-precious |
| In your detached world |
| Oh mother of pearl |
| I wouldn’t trade you |
| For another girl |
