Lyrics Marc Almond

Marc Almond

Unloveable

In a coffe bar from another time

It's always 1959

Drinking up the hour

And calling it a day

All your gypsy years

Have danced away

And like a dog upon a string

A three legged mongrel

Urchin king

Neon sign above your head

Flickers red

Unloveable

Unloveable

Unloveable

And when the shadows

Give you up

And older things

Need care and love

And Heaven's warm

When life's a little colder

Now you're older

Unloveable to be

But loveable to me

Eros winked and beckoned me

One night his arrow threatened me

I met a dancer

Lad a dance

I wouldn't chance

A real romance

And one night in the Regency

Some lady tried to mother me

I left because she smothered me

Can't you help me I'm alone

To be embraced

By the night and the city

Unloveable

And when the shadows

Give you up

And older things

Need care and love

And Heaven's call

Becomes a little bolder

Now your older

Unloveable to be

But loveable to me

Unloveable to be

But loveable to me

Your loveable to me

Unloveable

Unloveable

Unloveable

Unloveable

Unloveable
