Baby I'm too schooled for cool The world labours 'neath my ridicule Showbiz taught me all I know: Impress those on top and despise those below
And have some dark secret, some dark secret Hidden in your lyrics, dear Have some dark secret, some dark secret Indiscretions left unclear
Chorus: All I want is someone I can blame Man of smoke to man of flame Some dark secret took a hold and light's away We didn't leave it unknown It was our one dark secret.
Graded on a decimal scale Where four out of ten is a hopeless fail I give Johnny Borrell five He's piss-poor on record, but he's not bad live
Is there some dark secret, some dark secret Hidden in his lyrics, friends? Is there some dark secret, some black closet? Does he make his racket to make amends?
Chorus
All I want is someone I can blame Man of smoke to man of flame Man of smoke to man of flame, etc, etc.
