Cockney Rebel & Steve Harley : Ritz

 
Ritz
Hark to Rouall's white insanity- Clowns in drag concealing vanity
This is hardly Paradise- We’re still in search of petty scorn
Images so dead, in mourning- Clap and cheer the man performing
This is hardly Paradise- we're still in search of petty scorn

Couch my disease in chintz-covered kisses -Glazed calico cloth, my costume this is
Come to Pablo Fanque's in Indigo -We'll show you pastel Shades of rhyme
It's okay to laugh in harmony -See the white-faced Auguste's army
Come to Pablo's-Fanque's in Indigo -We'll Show you pastel shades of rhyme

Take a letter Ophelia, write -"Sorry Desdemona." bright
Peeking through the Nimbus covers -We see the twisted tale of Man
Catch us in the cornfield hiding -Me, Maryse and Moonbeams gliding
Peeking through the Nimbue covers -We see the twisted tale of Man

Careless, caress, curt up beside me -Visit, sleep and smile and drown me
March together, slay like Nero -Now we have something you understand
Oh! the clown, his stare is eyeless -Shall he make you laugh or cry.yes
March together, slay like Nero -Now we have sometning you understand

It is time to hide my body -Shall we start to speak of holly
I don't wanna be that Superhero -’Til you have something we understand
Heard they're moving Pisces into June -Shall we put together a platoon
I don't wanna be that Superhero -’Til you have something we understand
