Lyrics Isobel Campbell

Isobel Campbell

Bordello Queen

She says nobody comes with a guarantee

And she's talking to you and she's talking to me

The night is long and you're so all alone

Follow the trail of scent if you roam

Where the men are fools and the girls so wise

Act your age, not your shoe size, not your shoe size

Turn left at the station and right past the bend

Wait for a signal softly and then climb the stairs to their final peak

Step inside, only talk is cheap

Under look and key, take a chance on me

Slowly make you feel fine

Kiss you where the sun don't shine

Kiss you where the sun don't shine

Kiss you where the sun don't shine

Masculine women and feminine men

You be the rooster and I'll be the hen

You be the rooster and I'll be the hen

Call me your lover, don't call me a friend

Don't want to be your mother

Don't want to be your little girl

In this man's world, man's world

A woman's world in a man's world

Got to stand on your feet, rise up to defeat

If you tell a lie, I'll spit on your eye

If you want to fight, going to show you right

We all pay a price with a spin of the dice

Nothing in this god-forsaken world is free

Let's go little boy, won't you come with me

Now we skip to the finest hour

Pink colours and sunshine and rhythms and flowers

No Jack cums with a guarantee

I'm talking to you and you're talking to me

The night plays tricks when you're all alone

The lights are on, but no one's home

I'm not ornamental, it's elemental

"If you cross the line, then you're out this time"

Initiate, initiate, dominate, dominate

Communicate, don't implicate

Didn't ask to be born, might as well get along

Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong

Yet don't take fright at John's trombone song

Are you all alone
