This elegy recalls the funeral in early 2006 of famed makeup artist Lynne Easton, who worked with numerous Pop stars, including the Pet Shop Boys. The lyrics move back and forth in time serving as an uplifting celebration of the glamour and vibrancy of the late seventies and early eighties. ________________________________________
I thought it was like a film Reviewed but never seen Where everybody played themselves As a drama king or queen
The music was overwhelming Glitter in and fiend Some are chavy like a requiem In Denim and Leopardskin
I visualise the flashbacks School, home cross obsess Heart is too much of everything The cliches, the candles, the mess
Lucy and I never seen with David Brian never talks Help me in policks and sense in Arnold Tell me all about Reddocks Ozzy's last collection Beavis closed himself A little more rouge and powder cheeks But the base is pay off
This is our last chance for goodbye Let the music begin Shining and souring like a requiem In denim and leopardskin
In ended with a motorbike A search for every dance Pouring over our photographs To make it all fake sense Glomorous in it's own way Shouting above the dead Some are chavy like a requiem In denim and leopardskin
Janice and Marlyn, Ronald Creepers Malcom's around the block Adam's in the jungle film But Luc has let it walk The Johnsons and the Jenkins Hail by keeping smile All you need to make it big It takes some style
This is our last chance for goodbye Let the music begin Shining and souring like a requiem In denim and leopardskin
This is our last chance for goodbye Let the music begin Shining and souring like a requiem In denim and leopardskin
Requiem in denim and leopardskin
This is our last chance for goodbye Let the music begin Shining and souring like a requiem In denim and leopardskin
This is our last chance for goodbye Let the music begin Shining and souring like a requiem In denim and leopardskin
