Marillion - Lady Nina Lyrics
(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)You pick out your credit cards and check into the nightA dozen tequilas and youre feeling all rightSo you swim to the disco, out of your depth jaded gigoloYour lucky charms are tarnished so you leave aloneBut theres one place left to go before the taxi homeAfter all youve made your marksOne night youll play elizabeth taylorThe next night youre marilyn monroeForever kissing frogs that think theyre princesOh, lady nina, where did all the romance go?Your little sister babysits, your husband picks you up at sixThe make-up hides the bruises and the tears so they never showcos your beauty is the only thing youve ever ownedIts the only way youve ever known to make your marksYou made your marks, you made your marksWe believe its for realIch liebe dich, liebst du michLady nina, Id love to take you home with meBut I love my wife and I love my familyIve got a good job, responsibilitiesAnd I need to keep respect from societyI know youll never act with me, I know that youre in love with meSo how do I compare to the sailors of the ships of the night?Was I all right?Did you come tonight, lady nina?You made your marks, you made your marksEbony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red lightAnd edith piaf sings a lullaby for the nightJust making marks, just making marksJust making marks, just making marksYou made your marksEbony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red lightAnd edith piaf sings a lullaby for the nightJust making marks, just making marksYou made your marksAnd you made your markJust making marksAnd you made your markJust making marks
