Sopor Aeternus - Polishing Silver lyrics
Your rating:
I could be like a snowflake Fallen all the way from heaven into a magpie's nest, Only to place my powdered cheek gently upon his hairy chest. I could be his Maiden Marianne gift-wrapped in cloak and silken hood, Oh, a robin-redbreast sitting high up in the tree-tops... - Of his mo(u)rning wood. I need, I need a silver-furred A sugar sugar-daddy-bear, Someone who loves the front of me, Who likes to pay and loves to care. A frizzly ursus, strong but cute, Adorable in leather, denim or tweed-suit. I'd polish silver, 'cause I long to be spooned On the dark, dark side of the palest moon... Mandrake grows beneath the gallows In the shape of the one thing That you should never swallow. I know, he may look like the cutest thing you've ever seen But, Honey, we just don't know Where this old thing of his had been... I almost had a secret love affair With a dead boy's underwear. I nicked it from the mortuary, But the damn thing was far too small for me. That's why each time I hear the postman ring, I can't help wondering what he might bring. Oh, will he have something for me, And, if so, I wonder... how large will his package be? The chimney-sweep, the chimney-sweep, He came at two o'clock, I showed him where the furnace was, And he showed me his cock. He wore a bomber-jacket, black, but his hair-cut was crap, It took him rather long to finish his annual check... A sylvan stronghold for the golden child, Built and looked after by heart beguiled. A guard, a servant and a loyal king, A winter-garden and a thermal-spring...
