(john cale)

Virgin mary was tired

So tired

Tired of listening to gossip

Gossip and complaints



They came from next door



And a bewildered stream of chatter

From all sorts of

All sorts of

Untidy whores



Came from next door

Came from next door



But some men are chosen from the rest

But their disappointment runs with their guests

Never would be invited to the funeral rosegarden



But their choice don't seem to matter

They got swollen breasts and lips that putter

And their choice of matter and their scream of chatter

Is just a little parasitic scream of whores

Screaming whores

In the rosegarden funeral of sores



Virgin mary was tired

So tired of listening to gossip

Gossip and complaints



In the

In the

Rosegarden

Rosegarden funeral of sores
