Marc Almond - A Salty Dog - lyrics

Saint Judy
She's staggering across the floor
Saint Judy
Behaving like a whore
Saint Judy
She's giving it all the tears
She tears her dress
Looks a mess
Well I've wanted to do it for years
Well I've wanted to do it for years
Now I had a dream
Well, more a fantasy
Kip Noll, John Holmes and me
All in bed we were going O.T.T.
What a sight to see
What a sight to see
Well a diva a day
Keeps the boredom away
I love 'em when they throw up their arms
And they bathe in that applause
Shouting
Screaming
Singing
Stamping
Slamming hotel doors
Champagne chilled
And the pills well spilled
All wide eyes
And overkill
Minks
The drinks
The curves
The kinks
Always acts before she thinks
Well that's what you call a star boys
That's what you call a star
Too many of my skeletons
In other people's closets
Too many people taking
Without leaving deposits
Too many people bringing me down
Bringing me down
Well they may find me on a hotel floor
High heels in a pool of gore
Curtains closed
And a bolted door
Breaking every law
And if I die before I wake up
I pray the Lord don't smudge my make-up
The dress will be fine when the hem I take up
The dress will be just fine
Sometimes I feel like a moral-less child
Sometimes I feel that I've gone too wild
Spilled my guts
Done myself in
Died for a multitude of sins
It feels good to die for your sins
It feels so good
So good boys
Well, let's all put on our sequinned dresses
And end it all in tears
Lets all holler and beat our breasts
Ending it all in tears

Marc Almond - A Love Outgrown - lyrics

When I was seventeen
I was chasing after dreams
In southport
I had to get away
Or end up in a nursing home alone
When I was seventeen
I had a special love
And southport
Didnt seem a bad place after all
On the promenade
The carnival facade is peeling
And the floral clock
Has stopped a moment caught in time
Such a sad decay
Well, its something like the way Im feeling
For such a dream so big
Southport seemed a little bit too small
And I was still naive
I really did believe in magic
Thought I had found a love
And treasured it above all else
But then I looked beyond
I saw another life was waiting
I was chasing after dreams
I had to find them by myself
I hope you understand
Such a love could never be
The sea has turned my soul
And it aches to be free
I will always think
Of southport at the fair
Summer on the beach
The fun that we had there
With southport in my mind
But las vegas in my heart
I set out to search for the stars
But every dream I dream
Follows where youve been
And its tearing my heart apart
When I was seventeen
I left to find my dream
From southport
January came
I blame myself for out goodbyes
Nothing is so sad
As the sea side out of season
And nothing is so sad
As you and i
When I was seventeen
I was chasing after dreams
In southport
I had to get away
Or end up in a nursing home alone
And now it seems Id never been
A boy of seventeen
In southport
It didnt last
A lifetime passed
A love outgrown
Was it all a dream
Or was it all for real
Im standing on the pier
Im trying not to feel
The tears are in my eyes
Your face is in the sand
Im trying to look down
Im reaching out my hand
Im falling to the wind
Im waiting for the sea
But the sea is never in
Its never in for me
In southport
(its never in for me)
(repeat and fade)

Marc Almond - A Lover Spurned - lyrics

A lover spurned
A lesson learned
On love youve got
Your fingers burnt
Shed bitter tears
Now love has turned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned
A passing phase
A week of love
But all at once
You had enough
It pales so soon
Waned with the moon
No deep concern
For a lover spurned
Shell destroy you with her little games
See you swallow all the blame
Make you pay in many ways
For the pleasure of watching you squirm
Shell tell her friends to treat you rough
That you just werent good enough
Make the going really tough
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell
And every day
More guilt to pay
A lesson learned
From a lover spurned
It was all so cosy for you
You had a wife, two children
And a beautiful house
And me, well you wanted me
When it suited your needs
And now, now I have nothing
Just a handful of faded photographs
Nothing but a cold empty heart
But Im not easily forgotten
Ill appear when you least expect
To make you pay
You asked for it that way
Shell come to get you with a knife
Write poison letters to your wife
Totally destroy your life
For the pleasure of watching you squirm
Shell make a fool of you at work
Drag your name through the dirt
Make sure that it really hurts
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell
A lover spurned
A lesson learned
On love youve got
Your fingers burnt
Shed bitter tears
Now love has turned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned

Marc Almond - A Woman's Story - lyrics

There are many who have laid with me
Then got up and walked away from me
And played around with me like I was a game
Every night was a one night fling
When Id given them everything
They never even asked me for my name
God they never even asked me for my name
Now Ive found real love
Make no mistake about it
Now that I feel love
I just cant live without it
So if you love me
The way I love you
Why cant we spend our lives as one
My reputation was all over town
As a woman who was passed around
I knew every wrong way to go
Seen every room with a bed inside it
And every habit Ive tried, I tried it
But from now on I say hell no
No but from now on I say hell no
Now Ive found real love
Make no mistake about it
Now that I feel love
I just cant live without it
So if you love me
The way I love you
Why cant we spend our lives as one
Why cant we spend our lives as one

Marc Almond - Abel And Cain - lyrics

(Race of Abel)
Eat, sleep and drink
God smiles on you contentedly
(Race of Cain)
In filth and stink grovel
And die wretchedly
(Race of Abel)
Your sacrifice smells good
To an angel's nose
(Race of Cain)
What's the price
Of your torment and woes?
(Race of Abel)
Watch your seeds sprout
Your cattle grow fat
(Race of Cain)
Your guts plead
For hunger howls like a wild cat!
(Race of Abel)
Warm your insides
At the patriarchal fire
(Race of Cain)
In your dank hides poor jackals
Trembling and dire
(Race of Abel)
Make love and spawn
For your gold will likewise delight
(Race of Cain)
When your hearts burn
Watch out for such appetites
(Race of Abel)
Grow and graze
Devour the world like the pest
(Race of Cain)
Along rough ways
Drag your families in distress
(Race of Abel)
Your foul carcass
Will manure the reeking ground
(Race of Cain)
Up off your arse
Your work is once again found
(Race of Abel)
Here's your shame
The fire is vanquished by the rod
(Race of Cain)
Take up your claim
Out of the heavens fling God!

Marc Almond - Almost Diamonds - lyrics

You kissed my grateful skin
And left a chain of bites and bruises
Im sorry when you grin
Almost diamonds for the losers
Ill swim inside your tears
And wander through your rooms of silence
The motive crystal clear
Your tongue is love
And your heart is violence
Almost diamonds
Scratched perfection
Almost diamonds
Tears in glycerine
I spied you kissing her
You faked your love
My broken brother
Everybody burn
Secrets spill and smiles are smothered
You have to roll the dice
Pain is two
And fire is sixes
Vengeance feels nice
I know the shine
Behind your tricks is
Almost diamonds
Scratched perfection
Almost diamonds
Tears in glycerine
Who would have thought
It would end like this
You gave a stranger
A dangerous kiss
Now your pretty eyes
Say these precious lies
Were just beautiful imitations
They were
Almost diamonds
Scratched perfection
Almost diamonds
Tears in glycerine
Catch our teardrops
As they fall
You know we nearly
Had it all
Fallen tears of glycerine
Gone is all of what we dream
Almost diamonds
Scratched perfection
Dark reflections
Love wont find us
Only in dreams

Marc Almond - A Man - lyrics

I really must stop always being the child
Chasing his youth his heart, nose to the wind
I really must cure my tender nostalgia
Bury deep my stars beneath the veil of night
I must postpone my spanish chteau
Dreams that befuddle like an old wine
I must also give up those sunny states
To become a man
And when that day comes
You will forgive me, you wont be surprised
When I show my teeth, when I show my bite
Then I will be a man
And I will stand tall
I really must share my classes with others
So my youth can pass at last, so I forget
I really must scrape my nails on my heart
That my life hardens with sorrow and pain
I must upset my guardian angels
Who soothed me too much
And when that day comes
You wont be annoyed
If I scratch a bit, if I practice being....so savage!
You will forgive me, you wont be surprised
When I show my teeth, when I show my bite
Then I will be a man
And I will stand tall
And you will be prepared to find before you
Someone whos like you, a wolf among the wolves
Then I will be a man
And I will stand tall
And you will be prepared to find before you
Someone whos like you, Ill be a wolf among the wolves
Then I will be a man
And I will stand tall
Then I will be a man
And I will stand tall

Marc Almond - A World Full Of People - lyrics

Why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why is the world filled with people
It makes for a painful life
Youll disappoint me if you dont disappoint me
Come and dance with the tip of my knife
Why is the night filled with laughter
At expense of the sickest of jokes
While the world is a blot and its cisterns fill up
On the dross and the shit we call folks
Why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why is the world filled with the people
They snear and they snide and they moan
And the way I am now it seems I am one of them
Having grudges of my own
And why is this street a-crawling with *****roaches
Insects with two arms, two legs
Leaving their stink and their filth and their debris
Ill break all their faces like eggs
Why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why is the world filled with people
A-choking the air with their breath
Grunting like hogs in the sludge and the sewerage
Cringing from wonderful death
Oh why do my ears have to ring with their bantering
*****ing and ignorant words
Giving me aches with pathetic opinion
People, its fact, are insufferable turds
Why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
And I cant bear the little creeps
That tell me they hate my hair
Theyre always incredibly ugly
If they dropped dead tomorrow I wouldnt care
They feel that they have to comment
Have to put up with their penneth-worth
Theyre sick, hypocritical, mincing, unwitty
Not worth a spit in the dirt
Theyre not worth a spit in the dirt
Theyre not worth a spit in the dirt
Oh why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why cant I be on my own
Just me and the world alone

Marc Almond - Adored & Explored - lyrics

Wild wild child of the london night
Prowling under cover of the city lights
Waiting for a chance to strike, strike, strike
Youre gonna strike at my heart
Tonight
Theres trouble going on
Behind your eyes
Blue little eyes
Where trouble lies
They gave you too much trouble
But not enough time
The time starts here
And here youll find
I want to be inside
Be inside your mind
Riding where your secrets hide
And worship at the shrine
Its time to be adored and explored
So you wanna be adored and explored
And youre gonna be adored and explored
So come on and be adored and explored
Theres a storm coming up behind your eyes
Youre gonna give the world a big surprise
They gave you too much trouble but not enough time
Now theres plenty of time so for now be mine
Its time to be adored and explored
So you wanna be adored and explored
And youre gonna be adored and explored
So come on and be adored and explored
No more tears
For downtrodden years
Youre an undiscovered land
Unexplored by man
Open your mind
Leave it all behind
Its all there to find
In a too bright mind
Unconventional child
You ran too wild
Now its written in the sky
Youll emerge as the butterfly
As the butterfly
So you wanna be adored and explored
And youre gonna be adored and explored
Yeah, its time to be adored and explored
So come on and be adored and explored
Adored and explored
You wanna be adored and explored (x3)
Adored and explored
Adored and explored...
