Marc Almond - The Man Condemned To d**h lyrics

Let's dream together of a thug Big as universe Splashed with tattoos In purple reds and blues His kisses like a drug He'll pa** smoke on his breath A shared bu*t tasting of islands Of tobacco rum and d**h It breaks my heart to see them go My cell mates acting mean and hard The one we crowned with lilacs in the yard Who bought me bitter pain The other dead in Venice In a black gondola In the pouring Autumn rain Let your teeth slide their wolfish grin Into my blue veined jugular Pulsating like a star In the scarlet Spanish night Give me your hand and lead me where Black gra**es kneel to morning dew As for me I'm bound to die there We hadn't finish our Gitanes Bitter f*gs smoked to the last spark Of embers twinkling in the dark You faced a d**h sentence My best years spent inside a cell Back to the wall for stealing books That I'd committed to memory Let's dream together of a thug Chased across town, his splashed tattoos Mapped in purples reds and blues His kisses like a smoky drug He'll die with blond hair and not grey The two of us exchanging rings On his execution day Give me your hand and lead me where Black gra**es kneel to morning dew Give me your hand and lead me where Black gra**es kneel to morning dew As for me I'm bound to die there Let's dream together of a thug Chased across town, his splashed tattoos Mapped in purples reds and blues His kisses like a smoky drug He'll die with blond hair and not grey The two of us exchanging rings On his execution day
