Текст, перевод и аккорды “Death Of A Ladies Man”
The man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread i never even knew how much I wanted you, she said His muscles, they were numbered, and his style was obsolete oh bay, I have come too late. She knelt beside his feet ill never see a face like yours in years of men to come Ill never see such arms again in wrestling or love. And all his virtues burning in the smokey holocaust She took unto herself most everything her lover lost Now the master of this landscape, he was standing at the view With a sparrow of st. francis that he was preaching to She beckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood She said, ill make a place between my legs, Ill teach you solitude. He offered her an orgy in a many mirrored room He promiised her protection for the issue of her womb She moved her body hard against a sharpened metal spoon She stopped the bloody rituals of passage to the moon She took his much admired oriental frame of mind And the heart-of-darkness alibi his money hides behind She took his blonde madonna and his monastery wine this mental space is occupied and everything is mine. He tried to make a final stand beside the railway track She said, the art of longings over and its never coming back. She took his tavern parliament, his cap, his cocky dance She mocked his female fashions and his working-class moustache The last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get A womans education, but hes not a woman yet And the last time that I saw her she was living with a boy Who gives her soul an empty room and gives her body joy So the great affair is over, but whoever would have guessed It would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed Its like our visit to the moon or to that other star I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far
