Lavender Lyrics - Marc Almond

Mauve cravat and corduroy jeans 

Well we all know what that means 

A halo of curls 

For Satyricon girls 

Our Lady of the flowers 

Grows shadier by the hours 

Lady Stardust, Judy Teen 

In your own Moonage Daydream 

Blusher smeared across your cheeks 

Kohl that stayed around for weeks 

Smudged on your eyes 

A Biba disguise 

Maybelline in shades of green 

Coloured up your teenage scene 

Light of fot and limp of knees 

In the 1970's

Get To Know Charming Folk Trio, The Accidentals 

Last night's panstick 

On yesterday's grime 

You displayed all bruises 

While I covered all mine 

Elusive mercurial 

Effeminate ethereal 

They whisper you swish by 

Your eyes up to the sky 

Lavender, lavender 

He's got a touch of lavender 

Lilac and lavender 

Lavender 

Photos 

Heartache Noir leaving a scar 

Exploring all the shades to be 

Through life's black and white TV 

St. Dirk of Bogarde 

Showed you what to discard 

So you splashed on some Brut 

And lowered your voice 

When Charlie was really your choice 

Last nights Lurex gave yesterday shine 

You held on to your sparkle 

While I lost all mine 

Those long drunken nights 

With the misfits and rebels 

Playing the angel 

While slepping with devils 

Lavender, lavender 

He's got a touch of lavender 

Lilac and lavender 

Lavender 

And this is the part 

Where you'd get beaten up 

But you're saved by a quip 

And a whole lot of luck 

Frankie and Charlie have gone 

Now Larry and Kenny 

Once they all had a beard 

Sadly now don't have any 

Last night's indiscretion 

Was yesterday's crime 

You stayed true to yourself 

But I was poisoned by my time 

Elusive mercurial 

Piss-elegant ephemeral 

They whisper you swish by 

Your eyes up to the sky 

The renters on the 'Dilly 

In their fake leather jackets 

Say she's 'ere on the meat rack 

Knowing all of the rackets 

Where everything's gift wrapped 

And coming in packets 

Just a knock on the door to some 

Club where no need to say more 

Lavender, lavender 

He's got a touch of lavender 

Lilac and lavender 

Lavender 

So much there's not to say 

You don't have to anyway
