Liaisons
At the villa of the Baron De Signac Where I spent a somewhat infamous year At the villa of the Baron De Signac I had ladies in attendance, fire opal pendants
Liaisons, what's happened to them? Liaisons today Disgraceful, what's become of them? Some of them hardly pay their shoddy way
What once was a rare champagne Is now just an amiable hock What once was a villa at least Is digs
What once was a gown with train Is now just a simple little frock What once was a sumptuous feast Is figs
No, not even figs, raisins Ah, liaisons, ooh Yeah now, where was I? Where was I? Oh, yes
At the palace of the Duke of Ferrara Who was prematurely deaf but a dear At the palace of the Duke of Ferrara I acquired some position plus a tiny Titian
Liaisons, what's happened to them? Liaisons today To see them, indiscriminate, women it Pains me more than I can say The lack of taste that they display
Where is style? Where is skill? Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Where is forethought? Where's discretion of the heart? Where's passion in the art? Where's craft?
With a smile and a will But with more thought I acquired a chateau Extravagantly, oh, verstaffed
Too many people muddle sex with mere desire And when emotion intervenes the nets descend It should on no account perplex or worse, inspire It's but a pleasurable means to a measurable end
Why does no one comprehend? Let us hope this lunacy is just a trend Now where was I? Where was I? Oh, yes
In the castle of the King of the Belgians We would visit through a false chiffonier In the castle of the King of the Belgians Who when things got rather touchy deeded me a duchy
Liaisons, what's happened to them? Liaisons today Untidy, take my daughter, I taught her I tried my best to point the way I even named her Desiree
In a world where the kings are employers Where the amateur prevails and delicacy fails to pay In a world where the princes are lawyers What can anyone expect, except to recollect Liaisons, ooh
