Miss Fay Regrets Lyrics - Parachute - Pretty Things

You're corrugated steel, baby 

Platinum to feel lady 

Eyes are just two heavy as stones 

Someone split the glass 

And you're aging much too fast 

And you say that you've been left alone 

You're lent against the night 

But you say you feel alright 

Only somebody has stolen your home 

The pearls around your neck 

There at great expense were set 

But your tangled hair resists the comb 

No where to go, now she has fallen 

No one to come see her 

For she was born to the screen 

And as she performed 

Their hearts really melted, ahh 

Sure I've seen your face before 

But yes then there was a war 

And depression left the world so flat 

Yes, you were super-huge baby 

Limousines you used 

But your memory it clouds after that 

You say what's this part of town 

And yes, it's a long way down 

And you swear you didn't know it existed 

You're from high on the hill 

And the fact you're not there still 

I would surely have killed you ninth husband 

No where to go, now she has fallen 

No one to come see her 

For she was born to the screen 

And as she performed 

Their hearts really melted, ahh 

Well, could I spare the fare? 

'Cause your cheque book isn't there 

Could I take you to where your hotel is? 

Oh yes, I told them who you were 

But they said they would prefer it 

If you would find another place to crash in 

I know the streets are very cold 

And the shallow walls don't hold 

The shelter and protection you're seeking 

And as I walk away, you turn to me and say 

You'd rather I forget about our meeting 

No where to go, now she has fallen 

No one to come see her 

For she was born to the screen 

And as she performed 

Their hearts really melted, ahh
