King Horse Lyrics

Cheap cut satin and bad perfume. Showtime is almost here
Teased up by a strip cartoon.
Laughing up your sleeve. Sniggering 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 dear

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

She can turn upon a sixpence in the mouth and trousers set
Hit the till, ring the bill, never spill a sip
Still she knows the kind of tip she is gonna get
A lot of 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

So fond of the fabric. So fond of fabrication
From comic books to tragic. Through the heart of complications
Meanwhile back in some secluded spot
He says 'will you please?' and she says 'stop'
If I ever lose this good thing that I've got
I never want to hear the song you dedicated tonight
Cause you see I knew that song so long before we met
That it means much more 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
