Wild Roses - Live to Tape

[Verse 1] White wine is good for the flowers Me and Petunia, passing the hours In bed, where the morning light is so blinding That I’m going blank in the head Good god, that’s a whole lot of Pinot Lie to Petunia, tell her that we know The count of the glasses, or colors of grigio Isn’t that what the spring’s all about? [Chorus] Shed your coat Lay the leopard skin on the floor And make this a home We can leave our boots by the door ‘Cause we know that it won’t last forever But when we’re together It’s еasy to lose focus You’re slicking your hair back tonight And paint your face likе It’s made of wild roses [Verse 2] White wine is good for the flowers Me and Petunia do all in our power To keep them alive in the heavenly showers Of snowfall and sunshine We’re not bad for a couple Americans Jesus, Petunia you’re meeting my parents I dance in the bar like I’m not that embarrassed When you’re leaving with another man [Chorus] Watch you go Though I try to convince you to stay I should already know That we oughta make an escape ‘Fore our options are closed up forever But when we’re together It’s easy to lose focus You put on a new dress tonight And paint your face like It’s made of wild roses [Bridge] Whatcha doin’ tonight On the other side of Florence? You can touch other guys If I seem to mind, ignore it When we’re out in the club I’m probably too drunk to notice How you sip chardonnay Between the bouquets Of pale ambrosia Washed out wild roses [Interlude] Wild roses (ooh) Wild roses (ooh) Wild roses (ooh) [Outro] Drowned all the orchids in brandy Called up Petunia, she can’t understand me And neither can I, I should’ve had shandy Or something a little less dry But white wine is good for the flowers And me and Petunia are a couple of cowards Or buttercups drinking juice so sour We can’t help but pucker up
