Lori Glory Lyrics - Stina Nordenstam

Lori Glory you're on the list 

Beware of what's coming 

Though hard to resist 

Lori Glory 

Like a fly drawn to light 

You met me at the airport 

You were such a sight 

I said nothing and then nothing and then nothing 

And then you said "The man that I love 

Loves you, so I will love you too" 

Lori Glory 

In the back seat of a cab 

Did I dream that you kissed me? 

Lori, I'm so sad 

Men claim the right of living 

Of climbing, fighting and flying 

They claim the right of living 

So you became an expert on dying 

Men took all the decisions 

About what and why and how and when 

You learned the part of refusals 

And you played it very well 

Lori Glory 

Like a fly drawn to light 

At all the bars where you took me 

You were the queen of the night 

Lori Glory 

Why is there love 

Why do we stand all this pain 

When there's no help from above? 

Lori Glory 

My bags are packed 

Our last walk across Manhattan 

Such a balancing act 

You gave me access to the world of hangovers 

You were its irresistible Miss 

You were the princess of leftovers 

Of course you could spare a kiss 

Lori Glory 

My beautiful friend 

Don't give up on me yet and 

I'll stay with you 'till the end 

Lori Glory 

The girl that I like 

Promise to fight harder 

Next time they strike
