Madame Guillotine Lyrics - Singles - Godley And Creme

I waited for you in the usual place 

At the time we'd arranged 

And I thought I saw you go by in the car 

But the number plates had been changed 

Then my watch stopped ticking 

And the snow started sticking 

And the world looked different and strange 

(Chorus) 

It was the longest night that's ever been 

It was the longest night that's ever been 

It was the longest night that's ever been 

Waiting for Madame Guillotine 

All my friends said I must be crazy 

But I had to talk to someone 

So I found me a church and I prayed for a sign 

To tell me what had to be done 

And I swear as I gazed at the statute of Jesus 

The cross turned into a gun 

(Chorus) 

So I waited for a little bit longer 

And I was feeling really calm 

And then she appeared at the end of the street 

With another man on her arm 

So I fired two shots to stop her laughing 

And her body fell to the floor 

She was dead when the first shot hit her 

The second was just to make sure 

(Chorus) 

Never had much use for religion 

But now we're alone in my cell 

I'm begging you priest 

When you're praying for souls 

Please pray for my soul as well 

You see I'd like to think I was going to heaven 

But I can hear them singing in hell 

(Chorus) 

(Chorus)
