peter hammill - empress’s clothes [the margin] lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
she’s here now, perfume coiled like a thuggie scarf –
such a powerful drug to make you so naked and clean

[chorus]
and you want to tell her
so much to disclose
this idea you’ve got to sell her
a new set of empress’s clothes

[verse 2]
who was that woman in the masquerade?
do those eyes still give you fever?
who was that woman in the mystery+play?
do you still want to please her?
where is the woman who can offer еscape?
do you look for your freedom?
[chorus]
oh you see her (yeah)
you want to tеll her
there’s so much to disclose
this… this idea you’ve got to sell her

[verse 3]
you want her to wear that finery
the style that’s never seen
you’re trying to break the deadlock
of this strangleholding scene…
oh look, a new set of empress’s clothes!

[verse 4]
the here and now stands in your way;
oh you carry the bell, book and candle…
she won’t make you go
but she won’t let you stay

[chorus]
and you want to tell her
so much to disclose
this… this idea that you’ve been trying to sell her
that’s just a new set of empress’s clothes

[verse 5]
you want her, you want her
that style that’s never seen;
you’re trying, you’re trying
this strangleholding scene;
she makes you want to [?] it all –
you don’t know what it means
but only she makes you see
[outro]
empress’s clothes
empress’s clothes
empress’s clothes
a new set of empress’s clothes
empress’s clothes
a new set of empress’s clothes
empress’s
empress’s
empress’s clothes
