Lyric Talking Scarlet
Carry no bright torches for me...
You hide under the eiderdown all you can t sweep underneath the carpet
When you cover your neighbour s wife scalding marks appear you re talking scarlet
Kid yourself that it s platonic love
Best of friends - Eyes all smiling - Watch them turn to iron filings
I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
I ll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I ll tell her
I m more than some friendly fellow, I will say "How ya doin ?"
So casually she never suspects I m harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth s been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
You ve no shame when Scarlet is your name trust in flames
When Scarlet is your name
Yes he s crying in his sleep, yes he s thoroughly miserable for me
Losing his looks for me. Losing
Certain themes keep recurring, boundaries start a blurring
I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
I ll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I ll tell her
I m more than some friendly fellow, I will say "How ya doin ?"
So casually she never suspects I m harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth s been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
Oh my God someone tell her - I know she s a star, celestial feast
In the zoo of my heart she is thrown to the beast, tell her
The mouse here beside her won t always be denied her
I ve no shame, Scarlet is my name, trust in flames
Scarlet is my name
Carry no bright torches for me
You hide under the eiderdown all you can t sweep underneath the carpet
When you cover your neighbour s wife scalding marks appear you re talking scarlet
Kid yourself that it s platonic love
Best of friends - Eyes all smiling - Watch them turn to iron filings
I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
I ll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I ll tell her
I m more than some friendly fellow, I will say "How ya doin ?"
So casually she never suspects I m harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth s been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
You ve no shame when Scarlet is your name trust in flames
When Scarlet is your name
Yes he s crying in his sleep, yes he s thoroughly miserable for me
Losing his looks for me. Losing
Certain themes keep recurring, boundaries start a blurring
I will say late one evening while moonstruck beside her
I ll break the bonds of friendship one by one. I ll tell her
I m more than some friendly fellow, I will say "How ya doin ?"
So casually she never suspects I m harbouring thoughts of kissing her neck
I think my mouth s been drinking my basest thoughts do the thinking
Oh my God someone tell her - I know she s a star, celestial feast
In the zoo of my heart she is thrown to the beast, tell her
The mouse here beside her won t always be denied her
I ve no shame, Scarlet is my name, trust in flames
Scarlet is my name
Carry no bright torches for me
