Lyrics Palace of St. James - The Tiger Lillies

Palace of St. James

Orson’s in Paris
Trying to make some money
Make a film
Make us feel funny
Underworld gangsters
Got a new design
For the coat of arms of England
I hope you feel fine
And the sunlight glistens
On the Palace of St. James
Makes us feel good
There’s nothing gonna change
Memories of
A long time ago
My heart broke yesterday
Sorry I’m so slow
Without even asking
The summer’s returned
If it answered some questions
Might even learn
And the sunlight glistens
On the Palace of St. James
Makes us feel good
There’s nothing gonna change
Girl who caressed you’s gone
Into the night
Empty pleasures
Are they worth a fight
If I could see clearly
I’d see all the time
Instead of pretending
To see when I’m blind
Hired assassins
At five pounds an hour
Well it costs a fortune
To buy a bunch of flowers
Must have been an angel
In disguise
Now a quiz show
Second prize
And the sunlight glistens
On the Palace of St. James
Makes us feel good
There’s nothing gonna change
And the sunlight glistens
On the Palace of St. James
And makes us feel good
There’s nothing gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
In the Palace of St. James
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
In the Palace of St. James …
