Champagne Lyrics - Marc Almond

A winter morning sun in New York 

Champagne wakes and checks the time 

It's hard to keep a cup of coffee down 

When there's so much on your mind 

Kicks a cockroach 'cross the bedroom floor 

Checks the mirror, grabs some clothes 

Waits for the aching to subside 

Where to find it? No one knows 

And they say you're doing fine 

They're just playing with your mind 

And they never even know your name 

But they all want you to shine, to glitter all the time 

They all want a little taste of Champagne

Get To Know Charming Folk Trio, The Accidentals 

Takes the subway, early afternoon 

Downtown to Eighth Avenue to the Show Palace Theater 

Where Champagne bares all 

In a low rent, nude revue 

In the darkness, shadow people 

Stare at Champagne glassy eyed 

Takes the tips and imitates a smile 

Waits for the aching to subside 

And they say you're doing fine 

They're just playing with your mind 

And they never even know your name 

But they all want you to shine, to glitter all the time 

They all want a little taste of Champagne

Later in a room, on a little glass pipe 

Sweet dreams to help him forget his life 

He leans on the wall, rolls back his eyes 

And says to all the aching, "Goodbye"
