Lyrics
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh Cheap cut satin and bad perfume Showtime is almost here Teased up by a strip cartoon Laughing up your sleeve, sn***ering in your beer He'd seen the bottom of a lot of glasses But he'd never seen love so near He'd seen love get so expensive But he'd never seen love so near Now I know that you're all King Horse Between tenderness and brute force Now I know that you're all King Horse Between tenderness and brute force Oh-oh-oh She can turn upon a sixpence in the mouth-and-trousers set Hit the till, ring the bill, and never spill a sip And still she knows the kind of tip that she is gonna get A lotta loose exchanges, precious little respect When it's someone else's weekend, that's the best you can expect Now I know that you're all King Horse Between tenderness and brute force Now I know that you're all King Horse Between tenderness and brute force Oo-oo-ooh So fond of the fabric So fond of fabrication From comic books to tragic Through the heart of complication Meanwhile back in some secluded spot He says, "Will you please?" and she says, "Stop" If I ever lose this good thing that I got I never wanna hear the song you dedicated tonight 'Cause, you see, I knew that song so long before we met That it means much less than it might Now I know that you're all King Horse Between tenderness and brute force Now I know that you're all King Horse Between tenderness and brute force Now I know that you're all King Horse Between tenderness and brute force...
