Beautiful South The Bell-bottomed Tear Lyrics

Bell-bottomed Tear Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 This is the dinner prepared

 This is the dress that i made

 This is the child i brought up

 And this is the woman you laid

 This is the woman you laid

 

 This is the perfume i wore

 This is the hotel we stayed

 This is the way that i lay

 And this is the woman you laid

 This is the woman you laid

 

 We promise ourselves this is no one-night stand

 Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band

 And i'm thrilled by gentlest touch of your hand we pretend

 

 There's a tear, there's a tear

 Not through confusion through fear, through fear

 

 This is the smile that i wore

 This is the song that we played

 This is the way that i lay

 And this is the woman you laid, this is the woman you laid

 

 Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret

 A kiss and goodbye and a long cigarette

 But the pillow i lay on is cold and it's wet

 Can't pretend

 

 It's a tear, it's a tear

 Not through confusion, through fear, through fear

 And knowing at least that love came so near

 Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

 

 Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone

 Root out the photos you've already shown

 Cos this is one night you won't sleep alone

 Just one night

 

 There's a tear there's a tear

 Not through confusion through fear, through fear

 And knowing at least that love came so near

 Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

 

 There's a tear, there's a tear

 Not through confusion, through fear

 Not through confusion, through fear.
