Beautiful South - Bell-bottomed Tear Lyrics
(heaton/rotheray)This is the dinner preparedThis is the dress that I madeThis is the child I brought upAnd this is the woman you laidThis is the woman you laidThis is the perfume I woreThis is the hotel we stayedThis is the way that I layAnd this is the woman you laidThis is the woman you laidWe promise ourselves this is no one-night standLet us draw all the curtains and strike up the bandAnd Im thrilled by gentlest touch of your hand we pretendTheres a tear, theres a tearNot through confusion through fear, through fearThis is the smile that I woreThis is the song that we playedThis is the way that I layAnd this is the woman you laid, this is the woman you laidNext morning our eyes filled with sleepy regretA kiss and goodbye and a long cigaretteBut the pillow I lay on is cold and its wetCant pretendIts a tear, its a tearNot through confusion, through fear, through fearAnd knowing at least that love came so nearJust adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tearRoll out the red carpets and unplug the phoneRoot out the photos youve already shownCos this is one night you wont sleep aloneJust one nightTheres a tear theres a tearNot through confusion through fear, through fearAnd knowing at least that love came so nearJust adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tearTheres a tear, theres a tearNot through confusion, through fearNot through confusion, through fear.
