The Midas Touch |
| I saw the shape of things to come |
| The future in your eyes |
| The love you always meant to give |
| The bodyguard of lies |
| The hunting dog, the heated bitch |
| Le monsieur et madame |
| We never gave our maiden names |
| Waiting for a grand slam |
| For he’s the man with the Midas touch |
| She was born with a silver spoon |
| We came, we saw, we conquered you |
| We conquered you |
| The games are tough, the rules are hard |
| The legacy is pain |
| The wound was deep, the flesh unmarked |
| To win was not to gain |
| We played our hands with frozen hearts |
| Toujours chemin de fer |
| And human kindness played no part |
| When we were free of care |
| Deauville, Monaco, and Menton |
| The people were amazed |
| By the colourless blood we drew |
| At tables of green baize |
| People thought that we were in love |
| But we were just a team |
| We simply played at keeping fat |
| When times were truly lean |
