Torture Garden Lyrics - Hugh Cornwell

One step forwards two steps backwards 

That's the dance I want to learn 

If I could master it and put a little style in it 

I'll have some fun when it's my turn 

Gable and Monroe in the garden 

In the desert getting well 

Eli and Thelma in the DC 

It wasn't easy you can tell 

It's just a step away 

Please will you show us how to live 

It's just a step away 

When you got nothing left to give 

Seven horses not enough to 

Even fill the tank with gas 

Monty's outside he wasn't inside 

But he knows all things must pass 

Bucking broncos we're all cowboys 

Hanging from another age 

Getting sauced that's just how the film goes 

It's gotta be better than a wage
