Extravagance - Kitchens of Distinction[00:00:00]
Who dares walk her cheetahs[00:00:22]
On the dark canals of Venice [00:00:25]
Diamond leashes glitter [00:00:29]
Servant flames splutter[00:00:32]
Emaciated spectre with kohl tattooed eyes[00:00:36]
Albino birds painted shades of blackened violet[00:00:43]
Luisa leash me up like a leopard to your heart[00:00:51]
Black though it be let's toast your effigy[00:00:58]
Dress you in silver mail fit for the Queens[00:01:06]
They cannot touch you now [00:01:12]
They cannot do you harm[00:01:16]
You are the shadow that pale light[00:01:21]
That draws us fluttering to your[00:01:28]
Extravagance[00:01:33]
We stare at the rubies that shine in our hearts[00:01:49]
They're all you could wish for [00:01:56]
They're all I could want[00:02:00]
Pink peacocks howling as[00:02:03]
We waltz through the night[00:02:07]
They screech of crazed parties [00:02:10]
Canopies of fright[00:02:14]
Luisa in Paris Luisa by the lake[00:02:19]
Sitting still in veils painted by the greats[00:02:25]
Even electricity bows down to her[00:02:33]
Until it catches flame and all the money escapes[00:02:40]
You remain a shadow that pale light[00:02:48]
That draws us flickering to your[00:02:55]
Extravagance[00:03:00]
Debt-ridden in London she's dressed in dead birds[00:03:32]
Abandoned by her poet denounced by the world[00:03:38]
But once a creature exotic she cannot be forgotten[00:03:45]
So bury her naked but don't bury her nameless[00:03:52]
Wrap her in panther skin her Pekinese beside[00:04:00]
Shakespearean elegy Shakespearean lines[00:04:07]
In and out of fashion in death no less intense[00:04:15]
She cannot wither now [00:04:21]
She cannot fade from sight[00:04:25]
She is but shadow that feint light[00:04:29]
That draws us shivering to her[00:04:37]
Extravagance[00:04:42]
