Cavaliers Lyrics - Steve Harley

Make mine old time, or i'il spit in your eye 

It's better than lying, anytime . . . 

I'm horrified of modern times, I'm trying 

Very hard to keep up my guard 

Everything's becoming drag, we'd best be off 

Escape the bad- could be very sad 

Misery coming over me, I'm thinking about 

Going blind and don't want to see. 

Shift around this one-song town 

Like a sparrow with a broken wing -feeling blue!!! 

Terrified to step outside, it's so easy 

To make a suicide come true 

Masturbation-getting off; you can scoff 

Your ideals offer nothing new! 

I'm getting ready to run and hide, 

Looking for a suitable bitch to crucify. 

We're all beginqing to 

Testify, testify-it's getting fierce 

We're all beginning to testify, 

Testify, to be cavaliers 

How does it feel now you've testified? 

Love to have God next to me with his 

Hands around my throat in harmony 

Take away the silver tray, fetch me water 

God, give me strength, I'm in pain 

Seeing, blow-job blues and boogaloos 

Ten little niggers hooked on absinthe and daffodils 

Telling tales of white gardinia, 

Honky-tonking all the love that's in ya! 

We're all beginqing to 

Testify, testify-it's getting fierce 

We're all beginning to testify, 

Testify, to be cavaliers 

How does it feel now you've testified? 

Long-tailed coat, a silly joke; they drink 

Like men then see them choke on coca-cola 

Morgue-like iips and waitress tips and you 

Shuffle around on your sabrina hips 

Make mine old time or I'll spit in your eye 

It's better than lying-anytime 

Horrified to step outside, trying very 

Hard to keep up my guard. 

We're all beginqing to 

Testify, testify-it's getting fierce 

We're all beginning to testify, 

Testify, to be cavaliers 

How does it feel now you've testified?
