Loretta’s Tale Lyrics - Steve Harley

Watch Loretta taste the wine 

Kick the actor from behind 

Sprawl across the sofa, then 

Speak of foreign towns again 

Like the loner, seek Marlene, 

Ask the waitress:"Where you been ?" 

She says:"Don't give me no lies, 

"I been inside your head at least three times..." 

"! never lost controls 

It was a very strange show 

And all i ever get was oh ! 

'are you never gonna go ?'" 

Spy Ramona by the door 

Calling me the Perfect Whore 

Only Sweet Loretta speaks 

"Wipe the homour from your cheeks" 

And as the make-up starts to fade 

She doesn't wait, she hides away 

Noticing her friends had gone 

She starts to ask:"Oh ! What went wrong ?" 

"! never lost controls 

It was a very strange show 

And all i ever get was oh ! 

'are you never gonna go ?'" 

For Loretta - one 

She only played for fun 

She give her life away 

Counted hundreds, came to none.... 

"! never lost controls 

It was a very strange show 

And all i ever get was oh ! 

'are you never gonna go ?'"
