Song title: Prefab Sprout - Talking Scarlet

Edit By: 216.73.216.227

Carry no bright torches for me...

You hide under the eiderdown all you cant sweep underneath the carpet
When you cover your neighbours wife scalding marks appear youre talking scarlet
Kid yourself that its platonic love

Best of friends - eyes all smiling - watch them turn to iron filings

I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
Ill break the bonds of friendship one by one. Ill tell her
Im more than some friendly fellow, I will say how ya doin ?
So casually she never suspects Im harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouths been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
Youve no shame when scarlet is your name trust in flames
When scarlet is your name

Yes hes crying in his sleep, yes hes thoroughly miserable for me
Losing his looks for me. losing

Certain themes keep recurring, boundaries start a blurring

I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
Ill break the bonds of friendship one by one. Ill tell her
Im more than some friendly fellow, I will say how ya doin ?
So casually she never suspects Im harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouths been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
Oh my God someone tell her - I know shes a star, celestial feast
In the zoo of my heart she is thrown to the beast, tell her
The mouse here beside her wont always be denied her
Ive no shame, scarlet is my name, trust in flames
Scarlet is my name

Carry no bright torches for me
