Mother Of Pearl Lyrics - Ladytron - Roxy Music

Turn the lights down 

(Way down low) 

Turn up the music 

(Hi as Fi can go) 

All the gang's here 

(Everyone you know) 

It's a crazy scene 

(Hey there just look over your shoulder) 

Get the picture? Yes 

(No no no no) 

Walk a tightrope 

(Your life-sign-line) 

Such a bright hope 

(Right place, right time) 

What's your number? 

(Never you mind) 

Take a powder 

(But hang on a minute) 

(What's coming round the corner?) 

Have you a future? Yes 

(No no no no) 

Well, I've been up all night again 

Party time wasting is too much fun 

Then I step back thinking 

Of life's inner meaning and my latest fling 

It's the same old story 

All love and glory, it's a pantomime 

If you're looking for love 

In a looking glass world 

It's pretty hard to find 

Oh, mother of pearl 

I wouldn't trade you 

For another girl 

Divine intervention 

Always my intention 

So I take my time 

I've been looking for something 

I've always wanted but was never mine 

But now I've seen that something 

Just out of reach glowing very Holy grail 

Oh, mother of pearl 

Lustrous lady of a sacred world 

Thus even Zarathustra 

Another time loser 

Could believe in you 

With every Goddess a let down 

Every idol a bring down, it gets you down 

But the search for perfection 

Your own predilection 

Goes on and on and on and on 

Canadian Club love 

A place in the Country 

Everyone's ideal 

But you are my Favorita 

And a place in your heart, dear 

Makes me feel more real 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

I wouldn't change you 

For the whole world 

You're highbrow, holy 

With lots of soul 

Melancholy shimmering 

Serpentine sleekness 

Was always my weakness 

Like a simple tune 

But no dilettante, filigree fancy 

Beats the plastic you 

Career girl cover 

Exposed and another 

Slips right into view 

Oh, looking for love 

In a looking glass world 

Is pretty hard for you 

Few throwaway kisses 

The boomerang misses 

Spin round and round 

Fall on featherbed quilted 

Faced with silk 

Softly stuffed eider down 

Take refuge in pleasure 

Just give me your future 

We'll forget your past 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

Submarine lover 

In a shrinking world 

Oh, lonely dreamer 

Your choker provokes 

A picture cameo 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

So so semi precious 

In your detached world 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

I wouldn't trade you 

For another girl 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

I wouldn't trade you 

For another girl 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

I wouldn't trade you 

For another girl 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

I wouldn't trade you 

For another girl 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

I wouldn't trade you 

For another girl 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

I wouldn't trade you 

For another girl 

Oh, Mother of Pearl 

I wouldn't trade you 

For another girl
