Steve Harley - Tumbling Down Lyrics
Gee, but it's hard when one lowers one's guard to the vulturesMe, I regard it a tortuous hardship that smouldersLike a peppermint eaten away(will fight, will i swagger or sway?)Hee, hee, M'Lady, she cries like a baby to scold usSee her tumbling down, tumbling downHail! to the monkey; we're having a funky reunionWasted and sunk, he can only have Sunday communionHe got nicotine stains in his eyesHe got nothing to protect but his prideOh! smother ihe kiss or be drownded in blissful contusion(replace with)Oh! smother the kiss or be drownded in blissful confusionSee it tumbling down, tumbling downJuvenile tale, (see ihe Titanic sail into Brighton)The Hemingway stacatto, the tragic bravado can frighten!To be here, there and everywhere's fineBut do you have to be so swift all the time?Deliver the Dawn to the Moulin-Rouge on the HorizonWatch it tumbling down, tumbling down(Reirain) Oh! dear, look what they've done to the blues, blues, blues
