Lyrics Malcolm McLaren

Malcolm McLaren

Revenge of the Flowers

Le parfum sucrй de vos roses s'йvapore

Et moi je compose

Vous ne m'aurez jamais donnй

Que le baiser du condamnй

These flowers in your sweet hand is

Just how I would feel to you

If you could only touch me now

Just a ghostly paper sigh

Till you kiss me back to life

I'm soon to breathe the roses bloom

A thousand kisses say goodbye

And then they say you'll never die

A lonely fanfare blew

And then they sing to you

A thousand kisses say goodbye

And then they say you'll never die

A lonely fanfare blew

And then they sing to you

All your flowers fill my room

And sing to me their happy tune

Like nature's flower destined to die

A thousand hungry flowers

Loving you for hours and hours

Soon smothers me so tenderly

A thousand kisses say goodbye

And then they say you'll never die

A lonely fanfare blew

And then they sing to you

A thousand kisses say goodbye

And then they say you'll never die

A lonely fanfare blew

And then they sing to you

My lips are open wide

Stretched so far apart

Searching for that last kiss

With my hands pressed tight to my heart

A thousand hungry flowers

Loving you for hours and hours

Soon smothers me so tenderly

A thousand kisses say goodbye

And then they say you'll never die

A lonely fanfare blew

And then they sing to you

A thousand kisses say goodbye

And then they say you'll never die

A lonely fanfare blew

And then they sing to you
