All The Queen's Horses - Shakespears Sister

All the Queen’s horses

All the Queen’s men

They couldn’t put us

Back together again

'Cause there’s a fire

Burning in my veins

Slaughtered desire

And broken dreams

You came to me with promises

You’d never keep

And words like dying roses

Thorns that cut so deep

All the Queen’s horses

All the Queen’s men

They couldn’t put us

Back together again

No golden kisses

No velvet throne (no velvet throne)

The King has left her all alone

Just like a serpent

You strolled into my heart

A vampire of the night

You shot your poison dart

You took my innocence

My money, and my pride

But you can never take

The love I keep inside

All the Queen’s horses

All the Queen’s men

They couldn’t put us

Back together again, no

No golden kisses

No velvet throne (no velvet throne)

The King has left her all alone

(instrumental harmonica/strings solo)

No golden kisses

No velvet throne (no velvet throne)

The King has left her all alone

(Outro instrumental with whistled melody)
