Velvet Goldmine movie - Bitter-Sweet lyrics

rate me

Song by The Venus in Furs<br /><br>

Well, this is such a sad affair<br>

I've opened up my heart so many times<br>

But now it's closed<br>

<br>

Oh my dear<br>

Every salted tear<br>

It wrings<br>

Bitter-sweet applause<br>

<br>

But when the show's in full swing<br>

Every once in awhile<br>

High stepping chorus lines<br>

Mean I'm forgetting<br>

Mein lullaby - liebchen<br>

<br>

How rich in contrast<br>

Love can be<br>

Sometimes I'm quite amused<br>

To see it twist and turn<br>

To taste both sweet and dry<br>

These vintage years<br>

Lovers you consume, my friend<br>

As others their wine<br>

<br>

Nein - das ist nicht<br>

Das ende der Welt<br>

Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst<br>

Und das spiel geht weiter<br>

Wie man weiss<br>

Noch viele 'schoum'....wiedersehen<br>

(Translation of German lyrics:<br>

No - this is not the end of the world<br>

Stranded because of life and art<br>

And the game goes on as you know<br>

Schoum....see you)<br>

<br>

And now, as you turn to leave<br>

You try to force a smile<br>

As if to compensate<br>

Then you break down and cry<br>

<br>
