Velvet Goldmine movie - Bitter's End lyrics

rate me

Song by Paul Kimble and Andy Mackay<br /><br>

At last the crimson chord cascade<br>

To shower dry cordials within<br>

Too late to leap the chocolate gate<br>

Pale fountains fizzing fort pink gin<br>

<br>

While destiny begins to fly<br>

The farmyard chorus sings its wake<br>

Upstanding anthem to the sky<br>

Too soon to realize their fate<br>

<br>

You were the raven of October<br>

I knew the sign you flew around<br>

Up in the air so high above me<br>

Never needed to look down<br>

I never though I'd be a rover<br>

I didn't even look around<br>

But now I know you've found another<br>

So will someone please find me<br>

<br>

Give now the host his claret cup<br>

And watch madeira's farewell drink<br>

Note his reaction acid sharp<br>

Should make the cognoscenti think<br>

<br>
