Lyrics
Velvet Gloves (George Olsen 1994)
You wanna be blond
And act like you’re dumb
Pretend you’re broke and blue
A child on the run..
Are you naïve?
Have you been deceived?
Pretend you’re broke in two
That you’ll never leave
Chorus:
Artificial World of a superficial girl
The truth is like a poison pill
You’ll never kiss and tell..
You wanna stay young
And act like you’re fresh
Bathe away the stains you wear
Under the way you dress
Are you in love?
Have you got real needs?
Pretend you’re dreaming of
The one on whom you feed..
Chorus..
Middle:
You laugh at joy and you laugh at love
You counterfeit honesty
Steel hands in Velvet Gloves..
Paint yourself pale
And act like you’ve failed
Pretend you’re poor and pure
That you’d go to jail..
Are you in love?
Have you got real needs?
Pretend you’re dreaming of
The one on whom you feed..
Chorus:
Fade on:
The truth is like a poison pill
You’ll never kiss and tell…
