Cheap cut satin and bad perfume
Showtime is almost here
Teased up by a strip cartoon

Laughing up your sleeve
S!@$@ing in your beer
He'd seen the bottom of a lot of glasses

But he'd never seen love so near
He'd seen love get so expensive
But he'd never seen love get so dear


[Chorus:]
Now I know that you're all King Horse

Between tenderness and brute force [Repeat]

She can turn upon a sixpence in the mouth and trousers set

Hit the bill, ring the bell, never spill a sip
And still she knows the kind of tip that she is gonna get
A lot of loose exchanges, precious little respect

When it's someone else's weekend
That's the best you can expect


[Chorus]

So fond of the fabric

So fond of fabrication
From comic books to tragic
Through the heart of complications


Meanwhile back in some secluded spot
He says 'will you please?' and she says 'stop'

If I ever lose this good thing that I've got
I never want to hear the song you dedicated tonight
Cause I knew that song so long before we met

That it means much more than it might

[Chorus]
