Steve Harley - SEBASTIAN Lyrics

Radiate simply, the candle is burning
so low for me
Generate me limply, I can't seem to place
your name, cherie
To rearrange all these thoughts
in a moment is suicide
Come to a strange place, we'll talk over
old times we never spied
Somebody called me Sebastian
Somebody called me Sebastian
Work out a rhyme, toss me the time, lay me,
you're mine
And we all know, oh yeah!

Your Persian eye sparkle; your lips, ruby blue
NEVER speak a sound
You, oh so gay, with Parisian demands,
you can run-around
And your view of society screws up my mind
like you'll never know
Lead me away, come inside,
see my mind in kaleidoscope
Somebody called me Sebastian
Somebody called me Sebastian
Mangle my mind, love me sublime, do it in style,
So we all know, oh yeah!

You're not gonna run, babe,
we only just begun, babe, to compromise
Slagged in a Bowery saloon,
love's a story to serialise
Pale angel face; green eye-shadow,
the glitter is outasite
No courtesan could begin to decipher
your beam of light
Somebody called me Sebastian
Somebody called me Sebastian
Dance on my heart, laugh,
swoop and dart, la-di-di-da
Now we all know you, yeah!
