You should not wear dark glasses- they cloud your eyes,
Your wardrobe is so classic- time stands still inside,
The science of your bedroom is turning me blind,
The roses in your garden are walls to hide behind
La la la etc.
Draw those expensive curtains,
Sleep softly, softly, I'll be near,
The clink of crystal glasses,
The sparkle of a chandelier,
Just try not to be flattered,
Or strike a victim's pose,
To sully my view of those exquisite sash (sash) windows!
La la la etc.
(Solo)
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
I want...
Tell me what you want
I want...
Tell me what you really want...
An emblem, an emblem!
Tell me what you really want...
Cavalry twill!
Tell me what you really want...
A grandfather clock!
Tell me what you really want...
Grandfather twill!
You fly to buy your Wedgewood- God I would too.
Venetian green-stemmed heaven was made for me and not you!
Recline on velvet chaise-longue, I bet you purr,
Venus on high above you- I doubt you even notice her!
La la la etc.

She’s waking up in a cupboard
No cupboard is private and it hurts her so (though she cannot say no)
Packing up for the witch hunt – another breakfast with granddad as he speaks the truth (and honey, don’t you dare)
We’ll see your sinful body burn with scarlet sins of the best kind
We’ll set your soul free forever
Mum’s always in a frenzy
And cross her heart, she’ll crucify her daughter (it’s right and proper)
Love, love is a fire – mum, I married a soldier, did I get it wrong? (the ladder is long)
Keep asking questions, darling – the answers are out of our hands
We’ll be there when you’re underground
Hydra, hydra, hydra – she’s a sign of the times
I watch life spin around you – I know that you want more than this life is worth (and you can take it if you want it)
I know you don’t believe them – you don’t have to obey them, this world ain’t black and white (you know you can fight)
Leave this ugly place behind you – let wicked hearts beat without you
Pack up your poison and let’s go
Hydra – a family problem
Hydra – with smiling blue eyes
Hydra – She’s a sign of the times
So here we are then – living in sin
I’ll unlock the front door
And the world can strike us down
Let’s take whatever we deserve
Hydra – with a mouthful of spiders
Hydra – and heartfelt lies
Hydra – She’s a sign of the times
