Paul Roberts - Kettle Drum Blues lyrics

She's been dreaming for too long now precious time has been eaten or forgotten broken down rumor's out and running round the town From wearing rags and tatters to precious silk and j**els she wore the crown then left the man who loved her for the man who came to dance the Diva down rumor's out and running round the town but ain't that a shame she's been putting Carmen on the jukebox once again then she lets the music hit her and who feels no pain she's got those Kettle Drum Blues again Now she walks out in the morning to find herself a place out on murder mile but everybody's talking they say she's last year's face - they say she's out of style rumor's out that this girl's out of style but ain't that a shame she's been putting Carmen on the jukebox once again then she lets the music hit her and who feels no pain she's got those Kettle Drum Blues again So all hail the young pretender as they gather round to praise she wears the crown but one day they'll remember another shining face and how she let them down rumor's out and running round the town
