I remember your beautiful face How it sped up clocks Stopped hearts And set pulses racing
I remember your beautiful face You ran your toe upwards along my shin under the table Playfully outrageous Setting little fires, panic, and dilemmas Battle-bright
But there was steel behind your eyes Forged from cunning in your heart In your heart And dark ambition in your mind
I remeber your beautiful face Appearing suddenly in my bedroon in the afternoon As a boy inside me hurried to tear off you clothes Whilst the man inside me tore over the fields after showing you,politely, to the door
You had the measure of your beautiful face A perfect tool for getting what you want You had the measure of your beautiful face And you wanted so much, didn't you babe ?
I had the measure of your beautiful face I knew you were trouble You were trouble It takes one to know one But I was not immune And I slipped myself away, just in time As the jackboot slammed down
Takes one to know one...
Your beautiful face has aged Lost its power You must have know it wouldn't last forever I see it in your daughter She's a softer soul I guess it's not the weapon that does the damage But in who's hands it's rest
The world's a safer place ...without Your beautiful face
