Three Monkey Tango Songtext
von Marc Almond

Hustlers with hearts of gold
Some new to be bought, others oversold
Oh so young makes you feel so old
Drink in the drama as stories unfold
Lies are woven, truths untold
Victims are chosen to buy and to hold

Greasing and policing the merry-go-round
All of them dancing to yesterday′s sounds
They all have a story for their enterprise
Looking for sponsors in transparent disguise

Hear no, see no, speak no evil
Three monkeys, three monkeys
Soldiers' secrets, sailors′ silence
All hushed up with a threat of violence


Intrigue and politics all play a role
Some are for love, some do as they're told
Blue is the flame, a little insane
But sweetness and innocence all part of the game

Hear no, see no, speak no evil
Three monkeys, three monkeys
Soldiers' secrets, sailors′ silence
All hushed up with a threat of violence

Your beguiling eyes, how they sparkle and shine
You thrill to my heart while preparing your crime
I′m only waiting for you to be mine
Until then I'll keep dancing, dancing in time

To the three monkey tango
To the three monkey tango
To the three monkey tango
