The Days Of Pearly Spencer - Marc Almond[00:00:00]
Written by:Marc Almond/David MacWilliams/David Mcwilliams[00:00:01]
A tenement a dirty street[00:00:36]
Walked and worn by shoeless feet[00:00:39]
Inside it's long and so complete[00:00:41]
Watched by a shivering sun[00:00:43]
Old eyes in a small child's face[00:00:47]
Watching as the shadows race[00:00:49]
Through walls and cracks and leave no trace[00:00:51]
And daylight's brightness shuns[00:00:53]
The days of pearly spencer[00:01:01]
The race is almost run[00:01:10]
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass[00:01:15]
Gazing as the swollen mass[00:01:17]
On concrete fields where grows no grass[00:01:19]
Stumbles blindly on[00:01:22]
Iron trees smother the air[00:01:26]
But withering they stand and stare[00:01:27]
Through eyes that neither know nor care[00:01:30]
Where the grass is gone[00:01:32]
The days of pearly spencer[00:01:39]
The race is almost run[00:01:48]
Pearly where's your milk white skin[00:01:54]
What's that stubble on your chin[00:01:56]
It's buried in the rot gut gin[00:01:58]
You played and lost not won[00:02:00]
You played a house that can't be beat[00:02:04]
Now look your head's bowed in defeat[00:02:06]
You walked too far along the street[00:02:08]
Where only rats can run[00:02:10]
The days of pearly spencer[00:02:18]
The race is almost run[00:02:27]
The days of pearly spencer[00:02:36]
The race is almost run[00:02:45]
The race is almost run[00:02:50]
A tenement a dirty street[00:03:23]
Remember worn and shoeless feet[00:03:26]
Remember how you stood to beat[00:03:30]
The way your life had gone[00:03:33]
So pearly don't you shed more tears[00:03:37]
For those best forgotten years[00:03:41]
Those tenements are memories[00:03:44]
Of where you've risen from[00:03:48]
The days of pearly spencer[00:03:57]
The race is almost won[00:04:09]
