Lady K

[Verse 1]

I have been waiting to tell you it's hard to find the words

But my secret's out and running rife through London

And I cannot bear you hearing it from someone else

Today my love affair broke, she left me inconsolable

She captivated me, beguiled me like a siren

Want to possess her, to own her lovely lines

My heart is slow to want and slow to act

But when it catches fire, it's almost spiritual

My obsession with the lightness of her promise

Thought I was put here on this еarth to serve my goddess

[Verse 2]

My Lady Kеrylos is 28 feet long

And you wouldn't know it, she is 70 years old

We spent one summer on her at the Isle of Wight

We had no money to take her out the boatyard

So we just pretended we were far at sea

And little Zoe captained our wildest dreams

We fought monstrous seabirds for precious chips

And sailed along colossal creatures into giant waves

[Pre-Chorus 1]

It was to be a surprise

But like Americans, money speaks loud

A wealthy one came along and paid

Double in a suitcase full of cash

I had booked the first passage through France

That is how I took Lady K for granted

[Chorus]

But Lady Kerylos and I were not to be

So another dream explodes

And joins my heart like faded confetti

On the bottom of the seven seas

I so wished to sail in my special Lady K

[Chorus]

But Lady Kerylos and I were not to be

So another dream explodes

And joins my heart like faded confetti

On the bottom of the seven seas

I so wished to sail in my special Lady K

[Bridge]

Mm, jealous yet?

I can sense it through your letter

Deep grooves almost tearing through the paper

Though this fills me with a wicked sense of pleasure

Now you know the truth about my

[Chorus]

But Lady Kerylos and I were not to be

So another dream explodes

And joins my heart like faded confetti

On the bottom of the seven seas

I so wished to sail in my special Lady K

[Chorus]

But Lady Kerylos and I were not to be

So another dream explodes

And joins my heart like faded confetti

On the bottom of the seven seas

I so wished to sail in my special Lady K
