The Slave Lyrics - Singles - Marc Almond

In a Byzantine harem 

Where, seeking paradise, 

I'd disguised myself as a dog, 

A slave told me: 

Me, I'd like heavy pearls 

Enamelled black pearls 

To be dumb, and almost deaf 

So that you'd soothe me with words 

Words which resemble the sea 

Words that one sees through 

Words of bitterness and love 

Tender words, severe words 

Me, I'd like crowded rooms 

Where stretched out naked on all fours 

Encircled by dogs and chains 

Tasting mysterious liquors

Get To Know Charming Folk Trio, The Accidentals 

Drinks of life and drinks of death 

Cups filled to the brim 

I place my moist and eager lips 

On the kneeling stools therein 

Me I'd like a black slave 

With the white teeth, strong and cruel 

Who'd split my shackles wide 

And who'll take me to the sky 

In the damp languor of evening 

Me all white, and he all black 

He'd bite my body, sliding 

With a serpent slow... attack 

Me, I'd like to be a young woman 

Behind glass and iron bars 

As pleasure takes my every breath 

Until sleep, until death

Beneath my purple-blue eyelids 

You know, I have only one thought 

To be a woman, yes, it's true 

To be a real woman 

God... please... please
