Prefab Sprout - Vendetta lyrics
[Prefab Sprout - Vendetta lyrics]
If you came to rob me
Like a thief in the night
Do you think you'd scare me?
Do you think I'd faint?
You'd be surprised you'd be surprised
Ah heaven yeah
Behind the mirror of his wardrobe door
Stands Captain Barclay and his regiment
Do you think he's frightened of the dark?
The uncertain gloom
'Cos I'll be with you little butterfly
Is that what I say?
Come into my parlour
Said the spider to the fly
Well I love to ask you
But, I'm much too reticent
But, I'm much too reticent, much too reticent
Ah heaven yeah
Sometimes I dream (sometimes I dream)
I'm not alone (I'm not alone)
But something in me (but something in me)
Steals the pillow (steals the pillow)
Ah steals the pillow, steals the pillow
Wh hoo hoo hoo
'Cause it's my vendetta days are few
But, I would pay much more for you
'Cause, I'll be with you
You're a sweet chauffeur
Desperate men lead desperate lives
Don't breathe before the end arrives
They do a tip their hearts go burst
Their horses lame, their pistols rust
Well storm has broken so no-one sails
But Noah's calling beyond the pale
Ah two by two by two by two wh hoo hoo hoo
Sometimes I dream (sometimes I dream)
I'm not alone (I'm not alone)
But something in me (but something in me)
Steals the pillow (steals the pillow)
Ah steals the pillow, steals the pillow
Ye hoo hoo hoo
'Cause it's my vendetta days are few
But, I would pay much more for you
'Cause, I'll be with you
You're a sweet chauffeur
Desperate men lead desperate lives
Don't breathe before the end arrives
They do a tip their hearts go burst
Their horses lame, their pistols rust
Don't raise no kids nor leave no cues
For folks to say they look like you
All my fingertips have only stars
Is that what I say?
Like a thief in the night
Do you think you'd scare me?
Do you think I'd faint?
You'd be surprised you'd be surprised
Ah heaven yeah
Behind the mirror of his wardrobe door
Stands Captain Barclay and his regiment
Do you think he's frightened of the dark?
The uncertain gloom
'Cos I'll be with you little butterfly
Is that what I say?
Come into my parlour
Said the spider to the fly
Well I love to ask you
But, I'm much too reticent
But, I'm much too reticent, much too reticent
Ah heaven yeah
Sometimes I dream (sometimes I dream)
I'm not alone (I'm not alone)
But something in me (but something in me)
Steals the pillow (steals the pillow)
Ah steals the pillow, steals the pillow
Wh hoo hoo hoo
'Cause it's my vendetta days are few
But, I would pay much more for you
'Cause, I'll be with you
You're a sweet chauffeur
Desperate men lead desperate lives
Don't breathe before the end arrives
They do a tip their hearts go burst
Their horses lame, their pistols rust
