(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)<br><br>You pick out your credit cards and check into the night<br>A dozen tequilas and you're feeling all right<br>So you swim to the disco, out of your depth jaded gigolo<br>Your lucky charms are tarnished so you leave alone<br>But there's one place left to go before the taxi home<br>After all you've made your marks<br><br>One night you'll play elizabeth taylor<br>The next night you're marilyn monroe<br>Forever kissing frogs that think they're princes<br>Oh, lady nina, where did all the romance go? <br><br>Your little sister babysits, your husband picks you up at six<br>The make-up hides the bruises and the tears so they never show<br>'cos your beauty is the only thing you've ever owned<br>It's the only way you've ever known to make your marks<br>You made your marks, you made your marks<br>We believe it's for real<br><br>Ich liebe dich, liebst du mich<br><br>Lady nina, I'd love to take you home with me<br>But I love my wife and I love my family<br>I've got a good job, responsibilities<br>And I need to keep respect from society<br>I know you'll never act with me, I know that you're in love with me<br>So how do I compare to the sailors of the ships of the night? <br>Was I all right? <br>Did you come tonight, lady nina? <br><br>You made your marks, you made your marks<br>Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light<br>And edith piaf sings a lullaby for the night<br>Just making marks, just making marks<br>Just making marks, just making marks<br><br>You made your marks<br>Ebony flowers pinned to a velvet cushion in a red light<br>And edith piaf sings a lullaby for the night<br>Just making marks, just making marks<br><br>You made your marks<br>And you made your mark<br>Just making marks<br>And you made your mark<br>Just making marks
