Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Palace of St James

Orson’s in Paris

Trying to make some money

Make a film

Make us feel funny

Underworld gangsters

Got a new design

For the coat of arms of England

I hope you feel fine

And the sunlight glistens

On the Palace of St.James

Makes us feel good

There’s nothing gonna change

Memories of

A long time ago

My heart broke yesterday

Sorry I’m so slow

Without even asking

The summer’s returned

If it answered some questions

Might even learn

And the sunlight glistens

On the Palace of St.James

Makes us feel good

There’s nothing gonna change

Girl who caressed you’s gone

Into the night

Empty pleasures

Are they worth a fight

If I could see clearly

I’d see all the time

Instead of pretending

To see when I’m blind

Hired assassins

At five pounds an hour

Well it costs a fortune

To buy a bunch of flowers

Must have been an angel

In disguise

Now a quiz show

Second prize

And the sunlight glistens

On the Palace of St.James

Makes us feel good

There’s nothing gonna change

And the sunlight glistens

On the Palace of St.James

And makes us feel good

There’s nothing gonna change

Nothing’s gonna change

Nothing’s gonna change

Nothing’s gonna change

In the Palace of St.James

Nothing’s gonna change

Nothing’s gonna change

Nothing’s gonna change

In the Palace of St.James …
