Champagne Lyrics by Marc Almond

Champagne Lyrics

    A winter morning sun in new york
    Champagne wakes and checks the time
    It's hard to keep a cup of coffee down
    When there's so much on your mind
    Kicks a cockroach 'cross the bedroom floor
    Checks the mirror grabs some clothes
    Waits for the aching to subside
    Where to find it no-one knows

    And they say you're doing fine
    They're just playing with your mind
    And they never even know your name
    But they all want you to shine
    To glitter all the time
    They all want a little taste of champagne

    Takes the subway early afternoon
    Downtown to eighth avenue
    To the show palace theatre
    Where champagne bares all
    In a low rent nude revue
    In the darkness shadow people
    Stare at champagne glassy eyed
    Takes the tips and imitates a smile
    Waits for the aching to subside

    And they say you're doing fine
    They're just playing with your mind
    And they never even know your name
    But they all want you to shine
    To glitter all the time
    They all want a little taste of champagne

    Later in a room
    On a little glass pipe
    Sweet dreams to help him
    Forget his life
    He leans on the wall
    Rolls back his eyes
    And says to all the aching goodbye
