Love Lies Bleeding 4

"Nobody Loves A Fairy When She's Fat and Forty" was a popular "Hit Parade" song from the early 60's - believe it or not...

Whoooo.... those of you who all think it was homophobic and ageist... it was sung by Dora Bryan who also scored a humungously big hit in the UK with "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth"... it was stuff garnered from an age of "supposed" innocence!

Hah! - forget it - leave all those presuppositions behind you... All this is about eventual death... The original title for this picture was called "I Am Left Sad And All Alone."

Make of that what you will - but she certainly won't be left alone to die whilst I am still breathing!

This is the forth part of the "Love Lies Bleeding" series... Elton John stuff (in case you didn't guess!)

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day

And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow
