Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

Samurai

When you came into my room last night

And took off all your clothes

Did you think I would resist

Letting you inside

Did you think I would resist you

My favourite samurai

You swam across the bedroom

Drunk on my champagne

You got into the air

Across the river Wye

And pushed aside your headstone

My favourite samurai

Then you showed me something

I didn't know

How to let go

I was falling

Through the Tivoli sky

Expecting to fly

Expecting to fly

When I stood beside your tomb last night

Recalling how you rose

Did you think I would persist

Refusing to die

See how I've persisted

Favourite samurai

Favourite samurai

My favourite samurai
