Ritz (2012 Remaster) - Cockney Rebel

Hark to Roualt's white insanity

Clowns in drag concealing vanity

This is hardly Paradise

We're still in search of petty scorn

Images so dead in mourning

Clap and cheer the man performing

This is hardly Paradise

We're still in search of petty scorn

Couch my disease in chintz-covered kisses

Glazed calico cloth my costume this is

Come to Pablo Fanque is in Indigo

We'll show you pastel shades of rhyme

It's okay to laugh in harmony

See the white-faced Auguste's army

Come to Pablo Fanque is in Indigo

We'll show you pastel shades of rhyme

Take a letter Ophelia write

'Sorry Desdemona' bright

Peeking through the Nimbus covers

We see the twisted tale of Man

Catch us in the cornfield hiding

Me Maryse and moonbeams gliding

Peeking through the Nimbus covers

We see the twisted tale of Man

Careless caress curl up beside me

Visit sleep and smile and drown me

Go march together slay like Nero

Till we show something we understand

Oh the clown his stare is happiness

Will he make you laugh or cry yes

Go march together slay like Nero

Till we show something you understand

Is it time to hide my body

Shall we start to speak of holly

I don't wanna be that Super-hero

Till you have something we understand

Heard they're moving Pisces into June

Shall we put together a platoon

I don't wanna be that Super-hero

Till you have something we understand
