Richard Thompson - Mascara Tears lyrics

When I said those things I was out of my mind I was trying to be mean and cruel and unkind Don't take it too hard There's another man inside me wants to break us apart You were chic off the peg, bang up to the minute I had to put my big foot in it Don't shout it all about There's another man inside me and he wants to get out Mascara tears, bitter and black A spent bullet drilled a hole in my back Salt for the memory, black for the years Black as forever, mascara tears There's hell and hoodoo in your kitchen You've got to scratch the place you're itching How long will it take There's another girl inside you and she never got a break Mascara tears, bitter and black A spent bullet drilled a hole in my back Salt for the memory, black for the years Black as forever, mascara tears You just moan and weep and moan and weep Dirty rivers running down your face Tears all down your party face Mascara tears, bitter and black A spent bullet drilled a hole in my back Salt for the memory, black for the years Black as forever, mascara tears
