More Blitz Than Ritz Songtext
von The Crookes

If you are more blitz than Ritz
They′ll tell you every day
That she's much too proud to take you out
Her dreams a frog away
And oh, her majesty knows
That damn fine girls need damn fine clothes

Young girls dancing arabesques
So swiftly through the dark
And they′re haunted by those hounds of men
Who search for tell-tale hearts
And oh, we all still know
That it's far too hard to ever let them go

Don't lose sight of what you were hoping to be
Bloodstains and rosery
And by night the choir′s screaming
Set that child alight


If you long for foreign seas
When winter proves too cruel
They′ll be spitting from balconies
The drunken priest's a fool
God knows he′s too poor to go
Begging down there on the streets below

Red lace from another class
Tied loosely 'round their necks
And this young love found in red stained camps
They almost had their heads
And oh, we all still know
That both highs aren′t worth the awful lows

Don't lose sight of what you were hoping to be
Bloodstains and rosery
And by night the choir′s screaming
Set that child alight

If foreign shores prove too cruel
They'll be spitting from balconies
And oh the village they did cry
For a third nearby
And we're all tied both in his life
Wedding ring
If only you will wait


The choir′s screaming all night long
And you set that child alight
The choir′s screaming all night long
And you set that child alight
The choir's screaming all night long
And you set that child alight
And the choir′s screaming all night long
And you set that child alight
