Loretta's Tale

Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel

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 timesâ?¦"
"! 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 â?? one
She only played for fun
She give her life away
Counted hundreds, came to noneâ?¦.

"! never lost controls
It was a very strange show
And all I ever get was oh !
'are you never gonna go ?'"
