Steve Harley - LORETTA'S TALE Lyrics

Watch Loretta taste the wine
Kick the actor from behind
Sprawl across the sofa, then
Speak of foreign towns again
Like the loner, seek Marlene,
Ask the waitress:"Where you been ?"
She says:"Don't give me no lies,
"I been inside your head at least three times..."
"! never lost controls
It was a very strange show
And all i ever get was oh !
'are you never gonna go ?'"

Spy Ramona by the door
Calling me the Perfect Whore
Only Sweet Loretta speaks
"Wipe the homour from your cheeks"
And as the make-up starts to fade
She doesn't wait, she hides away
Noticing her friends had gone
She starts to ask:"Oh ! What went wrong ?"
"! never lost controls
It was a very strange show
And all i ever get was oh !
'are you never gonna go ?'"

For Loretta - one
She only played for fun
She give her life away
Counted hundreds, came to none....

"! never lost controls
It was a very strange show
And all i ever get was oh !
'are you never gonna go ?'"
