Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - Loretta's Tale lyrics

Harley Watch Loretta taste the wine Kick the actor from behind Sprawl across the sofa then Speak of foreign towns again. Like the loner seek Marlene Ask the waitress: 'Where you been?' She says: 'Don't give me no lies' 'I been inside your head at least three times'. I never lost control, it was a very strange show And all I ever got was: 'Oh! Are you never gonna go?' Spy Ramona by the door Calling me the Perfect who*e Only sweet Loretta speaks 'Wipe the humour from your cheeks'. And as the make-up starts to fade She doesn't wait, she hides away Noticing her friends had gone She starts to ask: 'Oh what went wrong?'. I never lost control, it was a very strange show And all I ever got was: 'Oh! Are you never gonna go?' For Loretta one She only played for fun She gave her life away Counted hundreds came to none. I never lost control, it was a very strange show And all I ever got was: 'Oh! Are you never gonna go?'
