La Belle Et La Bete

(album: Down In Albion - 2005)

I'll tell you a story but you won't listen,
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition,
It's the story of a coked-up pansy
Who spent his nights in a flights of fancy,

Met two fellas over gin and mixers,
They talked for a while he soon got the picture,
One was a souped up Soho mincer,
The other was a pikey with a knowledge for scriptures.

Then the conversation turned evil,
Talked, talked and talked about people,
Why did you do it to so many people?

Stumble left out of the boozer
... (?)
... another life (?)
... looking alright (?)

That girls out way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game

You've turned your back upon her
One too many times,
Spent all her hard earned money
Getting high, she sang

[Kate Moss]
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?

She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball
... (?)

You've turned your back upon her
One too many times
Spent all her hard earned money
Just getting high... she sang

[Kate Moss]
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than she?

I'll tell you a story but you won't listen
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition
It's the story of a coked-up pansy
Who spent his nights in a flights of fancy

Met two fellas over gin and mixers
They talked for a while he soon got the picture
One was a souped up Soho mincer
The other was a pikey with a knowledge for scriptures

Then the conversation turned evil
Talked and talked and talked about people
Why did you do it to so many people?

That girls out way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game
Way ahead of the game

You've turned your back upon her
One too many times
Spent all her hard earned money
Just getting high... she sang

[Kate Moss]
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful
Is she more beautiful than me?
