Marc Almond - d**h Of A Dandy lyrics

Take off your coat of many colors And throw it on the floor Like your old discarded lovers The ones you can't recall Lay your head down on the pillow Place your hand upon your chest Close your eyes and think of England To take your final rest Sometimes all the love in the world Is never quite enough They love you and adore you But only when you're dressing up It's all this useless love A total waste of time One day the sun will dim and die With no one left to mind The d**h of a dandy A grand dilly dandy Let's dip our maraschinos In a gla** of cherry brandy You're all out of witticism No longer bonne-vivant They all wait for you to sparkle In the end you said you can't Lay your head down on the pillow Spray yourself with rose' Place your mirror on the bedside Kiss the only one you love Sometimes all the love in the world Is never quite enough They never really knew you Never saw you looking rough It's all this pointless life A total waste of time Everything moves on so fast And we get left behind The d**h of a dandy A funeral for a lord The d**h of Narcissus Another angel fall In your youth you had enough beauty That you could make a hard man cry But it was written in your legend That you had to die Sometimes all the love in the world Is never quite enough They love you and adore you But only when you're dressing up It's all this useless love A total waste of time One day the sun will dim and die With no one left to mind The d**h of a dandy A grand dilly dandy Let's dip our maraschinos In a gla** of cherry brandy The d**h of a dandy Oh, what an occasion But you are simply sobbing With just the rasons The d**h of a dandy The faith of a prince Your chateau Brianne We're just here to miss The d**h of a dandy A funeral for a lord The d**h of Narcissus Another angel fall
