The Flesh Is Willing Lyrics - Marc Almond

Lying in her own asylum 

Love has her in an endless coma 

Tear marked pillows 

Broken china 

Things they say that love is made of 

Wet and strewn 

She lies sedated 

Wrenched with arms and legs akimbo 

Locked up in her own asylum 

Locked up in love's endless limbo 

The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak 

The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak

Locked up in her own asylum 

Feeling so ashamed and crazy 

Lets the other inmates touch her 

Touch intimate places on her 

Love has her in a sea of vitriol 

Tear marked pillows 

Broken china 

Things they say that love is made of 

The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak 

The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak 

Swollen tongued and swimming eyes 

Smiles but never ever smiles 

Can't sleep at night for endless wailing 

Weeping, wailing, howling 

Love's shuddering howl 

Love's shuddering howl

The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak 

The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak 

If she can hoodwink the doctor 

She'll get out for good behaviour 

She'll get out for good 

Locked up in her own asylum 

Love has her on her knees 

Locked up in her own asylum 

Love has her on her knees 

The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak 

The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak 

Skin and bone 

Hot and cold 

Brazen brave 

Brain and brawn 

Push 'n' shove 

Slick 'n' slow 

Broken home 

Love and you 

You and me 

Soft and sound 

Smile and cry 

Touch and go 

Sad and slow 

Break and bold 

Wild and wound 

Sleep and sound 

Have and hold 

Have and hold 

Have and hold
