Marillion - Lady Nina текст песни

(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)

You pick out your credit cards and check into the night

A dozen tequilas and youre feeling all right

So you swim to the disco, out of your depth jaded gigolo

Your lucky charms are tarnished so you leave alone

But theres one place left to go before the taxi home

After all youve made your marks

One night youll play elizabeth taylor

The next night youre marilyn monroe

Forever kissing frogs that think theyre princes

Oh, lady nina, where did all the romance go?

Your little sister babysits, your husband picks you up at six

The make-up hides the bruises and the tears so they never show

cos your beauty is the only thing youve ever owned

Its the only way youve ever known to make your marks

You made your marks, you made your marks

We believe its for real

Ich liebe dich, liebst du mich

Lady nina, Id love to take you home with me

But I love my wife and I love my family

Ive got a good job, responsibilities

And I need to keep respect from society

I know youll never act with me, I know that youre in love with me

So how do I compare to the sailors of the ships of the night?

Was I all right?

Did you come tonight, lady nina?

You made your marks, you made your marks

Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light

And edith piaf sings a lullaby for the night

Just making marks, just making marks

Just making marks, just making marks

You made your marks

Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light

And edith piaf sings a lullaby for the night

Just making marks, just making marks

You made your marks

And you made your mark

Just making marks

And you made your mark

Just making marks
