Steve Harley lyrics > The Human Menagerie > Loretta's Tale


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 c 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 ? '
