Dora

[Verse 1]

He stood naked outside the door

Handsome with dark eyes flashing

The winds blew straight in off the moor

The sisters stopped their pacing

Through the flickering firelight

Shadows jumped across the floor

Pounding hearts and rushing blood

Romantic thoughts and fears

[Chorus 1]

Dora, Dora, looking in the mirror

Dora, Dora, acting out in mother's clothes

Dreaming, dreaming, no-one will ever know

Dora, Dora

[Verse 2]

The autumn leaves are falling

Through a dreary evening sky

In St. John's Wood a woman waits

Sitting on a leather sofa

The psychiatrist smiles sadly

As she uncrossed her legs

The ticking of an antique clock

Penetrates the gloom

[Chorus 2]

Dora, Dora, see the man is writing

Writing down all the words you say

We know, don't we, the truth is locked away

Dora, Dora

[Verse 3]

In the pitch black dungeon

Slaves touched up the black paint

Upstairs the maid took details on the phone

While the minister waited in the bathroom

She's twenty seven with a lovely figure

Experienced in these careful arts

The purr of an expensive car

In the alleyway outside

[Chorus 1]

Dora, Dora, looking in the mirror

Dora, Dora, acting out in mother's clothes

Dreaming, dreaming, no-one will ever know

Dora, Dora
