Orpheus Lyrics - Walker Brothers

(S. Engel) 

Well, I'm back to make your face 

So it smiles once again 

And harpoon you like a whale 

With a bent and rusty nail 

If your husband knew, he'd say 

That you're living in sin 

Well, if grinnin' is a sin 

That's the reason I'm here 

Back with you, Mrs Blear 

Sleep on, dear 

Deep and easy, our night man is here 

I'll steal your dreams for my shiny gold chain 

And you'll wake with your eyes full of rain 

Finding I've disappeared

I don't think of yesterday 

Merely drum out the sound 

But forgetting you was hard 

That's why I'm back in town 

And you had a loveless week 

And the world's let you down 

But I'll make it up somehow 

There are ways, Mrs Brown 

That's why I'm back in town 

Sleep on, dear 

For the night wouldn't dare interfere 

And the ghosts of my cigarette play 

On the ceiling, and time drifts away 

With the burden it bears 

Photos 

Remember me 

I've already forgotten you 

And make your beds for me 

For the things we ought not to do 

Drive us all 

'Round the bend
