Vaudeville And Burlesque Lyrics by Marc Almond

Vaudeville And Burlesque Lyrics

    I've had my fill of ugly words
    I've had my fill of lies
    When the only truth or beauty now
    Is deep within your thighs
    The roses are in bloom my dear
    I haven't any fear
    That you'll love me
    Like you did last year

    Look at me
    Do you see
    A man against the world
    But don't look at me
    And see an unhappy man
    With some powder and some paint
    And the patience of a saint
    I'm still here

    My life's not over yet
    I'm not up there on the shelf
    I've found someone to love
    Apart from just myself

    I've had my fill of bitterness
    I've had my fill of dirt
    I've had enough of emptiness
    I've had enough of hurt
    I think we'll get the last laugh
    If we don't break down and cry

    And find the joke's
    On you and i
    Look at us
    Do you see us in a burlesque show
    Look at us are we in vaudeville
    We've tasted every thrill
    Every powder every pill
    And we're still here

    I've had enough of broken cups
    I've had enough of scenes
    Of other people's laughter
    When we go through our routines
    The lilies aren't in season
    So i've no reason to fear
    That you'll love me like you
    Did last year
    That you'll love me like you
    Did last year
    That you'll love me like you
    Did last year
