Lyrics:

cheap cut satin and bad perfume
showtime is almost here
tears stop by your strength
caught you laughing up your sleeve
sniggering in your beer
seen the bottom of a lot of glasses
but he's never seen love so near
he'd seen love get so expensive
but he'd never seen love so dear

CHORUS:
now I know that you're all king horse
between tenderness and brute force
now I know that you're all king horse
between tenderness and brute force

she can turn a pot of sixpence
in the mouth and trouser set
hit the till ring the bill
never spill a sip
and still she knows the kind of tip
she is going to get
a lot of loose exchanges precious little respect
but if someone else is weakened
that's the best that you can expect

chorus

so fine knit a fabric
so fine a fabrication
from comic books to tragic
to the art of conversation

meanwhile back in some secluded spot
he says will you please and she says stop
if I ever loose this good thing that I got
I never want to hear the song you dedicated tonight
you see I knew that song so long before we met
that it means much more than it might

chorus
