The Great Pretender Lyrics - Brian Eno

Monica sighed 

Rolled on her side 

She was so impressed that she just surrendered 

She was moved by his wheels 

She was just up from wales 

He was fueled by her coals and he was coming to catch her 

Lose the sense of time 

Nail down the blinds 

And in the succulent dark there's a sense of ending 

Joking aside 

The mechanical bride 

Has fallen prey to the great pretender. 

Let me just point out discreetly 

Though you never learn 

All those tawdry late night weepies 

I could make you weep more cheaply 

As the empty moon enamels 

Monica with spoons and candles 

Bangs around without the light on 

Furniture to get it right on 

Settled in a homely fish pool 

Hung with little eels 

Often thinks that travel widens 

'stay at home, the trout obliges' 

Monica sighed 

Rolled on to her side 

She was so impressed that she just surrendered.
