[Verse 1]
A C#m
If you are more blitz than ritz they'll tell you every day
F#m D
That she's much too proud to take you out, her dreams a frock away
A F#m
And oh, her majesty knows
D E
That damn fine girls need damn fine clothes
[Verse 2]
A C#m
Young girls dance in arabesques so swiftly through the dark
F#m D
And they're haunted by those hounds of men who search for tell tale hearts
A F#m
And oh, we all still know
D E
That it's far too hard to ever let them go
[Chorus]
Bm D A
"Don't lose sight of what you were hoping to be"
F#m C#m
Blood stains a rosary
Bm D A E F#m D
And by night the choir's screaming "set that child alight."
[Verse 3]
A C#m
If you long for foreign seas when winter proves too cruel
F#m D
They'll be spitting from balconies, the drunken priest's a fool
A F#m
God knows, he's too poor to go
D E
Begging down on the streets below
[Verse 4]
A C#m
Red lace from another class tied loosely round their necks
F#m D
And there's young love bound in blood stained gowns, they almost had their heads
A F#m
And oh, we all still know
D E
That borrowed highs aren't worth the awful lows
[Chorus]
Bm D A
"Don't lose sight of what you were hoping to be"
F#m C#m
Blood stains a rosary
Bm D A C#m F#m D
And by night the choir's screaming "set that child alight."
[Outro]
A F#m D E
A F#m Bm
ohhhh if foreign seas prove too cruel
E A
they'll be spitting from balconies
F#m Bm E A
and oh the village they did cry ????????????
