Young Cleopatra
XTC I see them offering you gum I hear the swarming schoolkids hum A tribe of polyester warriors spellbound They bring you offerings to please Like cigarettes or new lps Just to play with your comb Youll have them on their knees and begging One glance from those two eyes Will seal your playground empire My oh my, what a sight for sore eyes, young cleopatra My oh my, what a wonderful prize, young cleopatra Youll never be a queen unless you do as youre told You wouldnt understand it being fourteen years old Dont ever give your love for free But then again, dont even let it be sold You have your teachers in a trap Theres no age limit or no gap To who you set alight with firebombs, ......... Im glad your father is my friend And now that school is at an end Hes only an excuse for me To wait here at your palace gates One glance from those two eyes Will seal your playground empire Your school uniform looks grey on others and silver on you Your yellow wooden rule a golden sceptre to prove its true Youre at the youth club near the drums The young guitarist buzzer strums Anything his royal majesty wishes Your borrowed perfume fills the air Pale nostrils start to flare Its more than some can bear But this is your court and they are your dogs One glance from those two eyes Will seal your playground empire |
