Loretta's Tale

(앨범: The Human Menagerie - 1973)

Watch Loretta taste the wine
Kick the actor from behind
Sprawl across the sofa then
Speak of foreign towns again

Like the loner seek Marlene
Ask the waitress: 'Where you been?'
She says: 'Don't give me no lies'
'I been inside your head at least three times'

I never lost control, it was a very strange show
And all I ever got was: 'Oh! Are you never gonna go?'

Spy Ramona by the door
Calling me the Perfect Whore
Only sweet Loretta speaks
'Wipe the humour from your cheeks'

And as the make-up starts to fade
She doesn't wait, she hides away
Noticing her friends had gone
She starts to ask: 'Oh what went wrong?'

I never lost control, it was a very strange show
And all I ever got was: 'Oh! Are you never gonna go?'

For Loretta one
She only played for fun
She gave her life away
Counted hundreds came to none

I never lost control, it was a very strange show
And all I ever got was: 'Oh! Are you never gonna go?'
