The Great Pretender Lyrics by Brian Eno

The Great Pretender Lyrics

    Monica sighed
    Rolled on her side
    She was so impressed that she just surrendered


    She was moved by his wheels
    She was just up from wales
    He was fuelled by her coals and he was coming to catch her


    Lose the sense of time
    Nail down the blinds
    And in the succulent dark there's a sense of ending


    Joking aside
    The mechanical bride
    Has fallen prey to the great pretender.


    Let me just point out discreetly
    Though you never learn
    All those tawdry late night weepies
    I could make you weep more cheaply


    As the empty moon enamels
    Monica with spoons and candles
    Bangs around without the light on
    Furniture to get it right on


    Settled in a homely fishpool
    Hung with little eels
    Often thinks that travel widens
    'stay at home, the trout obliges'


    Monica sighed
    Rolled on to her side
    She was so impressed that she just surrendered.
