The Flesh Is Willing Lyrics by Marc Almond

The Flesh Is Willing Lyrics

    Lying in her own asylum
    Love has her in an endless coma
    Tear marked pillows
    Broken china
    Things they say that love is made of

    Wet and strewn
    She lies sedated
    Wrenched with arms and legs akimbo
    Locked up in her own asylum
    Locked up in love's endless limbo

    The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
    The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak

    Locked up in her own asylum
    Feeling so ashamed and crazy
    Lets the other inmates touch her
    Touch intimate places on her
    Love has her in a sea of vitriol

    Tear marked pillows
    Broken china
    Things they say that love is made of

    The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
    The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak

    Swollen tongued and swimming eyes
    Smiles but never ever smiles
    Can't sleep at night for endless wailing
    Weeping, wailing, howling
    Love's shuddering howl
    Love's shuddering howl

    The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
    The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak

    If she can hoodwink the doctor
    She'll get out for good behaviour
    She'll get out for good
    Locked up in her own asylum
    Love has her on her knees
    Locked up in her own asylum
    Love has her on her knees

    The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
    The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak

    Skin and bone
    Hot and cold
    Brazen brave
    Brain and brawn
    Push 'n' shove
    Slick 'n' slow
    Broken home
    Love and you
    You and me
    Soft and sound
    Smile and cry
    Touch and go
    Sad and slow
    Break and bold
    Wild and wound
    Sleep and sound
    Have and hold
    Have and hold
    Have and hold
