Marc Almond - The Heel lyrics

Your rating:

                     

 The one who has me for his own

Is on the town and not alone

In his blue suit and his new tie

He slams the door without goodbye

Tonight my eyes are jealous green

Tonight I'm melancholy mean

He meets in secret rendezvous

Some dame to tell his troubles to

The heel



He'll promise her most anything

A sable coata diamond ring

She'll find him out when it's too late

And all she'll get will be the date

But while the dawn's a distant thing

In his embrace her heart will sing

A dizzy head will spin with lies

And all too late a woman cries

The heel



The neon lights that flash below

Ignite my room with double glow

And in the gloom I hear a laugh

Its coming from his photograph

I wring my hands and mop the floor

And swear to even up the score

But where a kitten cried tonight

A panther waits to claw and bite

The heel



I dare not play my radio

One more complaint and out I go

I'm sick of playing solitaire

The ace of spades is everywhere

They'll be no sleep for me tonight

The sheep I count are never white

They all turn out to be jet black

And who's the leader of the pack

The heel



At dawn I know he'll stagger in

Demanding coffee black as sin

And as I take it from the tin

I'll slip a little powder in

He'll look at me and start to cry

And cross his heart and hope to die

And mumble I know how you feel

But I've been on a business deal

The heel



Then as the pot begins to perc.

I know my plan will never work

When he starts to drink it up

I grab his hand and break the cup

Its only jealousy I know

That brought my thinking down so low

Why must I wait for him and grieve

Why don't I just pack up and leave

The heel



But now he's reeling on the stair

I'll try to act like I don't care

For in my heart's arithmetic

I find it takes two heels to click

We're in a web of love and hate

Where it will end is up to fate

I'll let him have his little flings

I'll be the chewing gum that clings

To the heel
