Píseň: Roly Poly

Interpret:
Terence Trent D’arby
Album:
Neither Fish Nor Flesh
Your dangerous charm and your 
Glamorous arrogance thrilled me 
In the melancholy winter time 
(Uncle Bill please give me time)


But this war of attrition 
To prove your world ambition 
Worries me 
And you're too concerned with the
Weight you want to lose


Well if you listen to confusion
Long enough it starts to make sense 
Can you hear me talking to ya?


Roly poly Holy holy 
Time is tight
 Get it right 
Aren't you lonely? 
Roly poly 
Holy holy 
Time is tight 
Get it right 
Aren't you lonely?


Your fatalist's closet 
Where blood stained deposits hide deeply 
Underneath the cusp of venus fly


A terrible beauty 
You are my dear of 
Aphrodisiacs and diamonds 
But your lonely tears trail
 Your penis envy eyes


And now stop worrying about your 
Weight it looks alright to me dear 
Can you hear me talking to ya?


Roly poly Holy holy 
Time is tight
 Get it right 
Aren't you lonely? 
Roly poly 
Holy holy 
Time is tight 
Get it right 
Aren't you lonely?


All your somethings 
Are turning into nothings 
As you reach for 
Something greed inspired 
And all the hopes that 
I once held as your lover 
Are falling down as 
My manhood loses fire


Your kinship with money 
A Queen bee with honey 
Suits you 
As you now belong to the ever 
Changing guard 
A signpost for progress 
A fine token lioness Leaves me 
'Cause as you say dear 
I'm just a face without a card


Well if you listen to confusion 
Long enough it starts to make sense 
Can you hear me talking to ya?


Roly poly Holy holy 
Time is tight
 Get it right 
Aren't you lonely? 
Roly poly 
Holy holy 
Time is tight 
Get it right 
Aren't you lonely?
