MR. RAFFLES lyrics

Home >> Artists starting with S >> Steve Harley Lyrics >> MR. RAFFLES

Man, it was mean to be seen in the robes you wore for Lent
you must've known that it was Easter
There for a while, in your smile, I could see Mexico blood say
"This is true I was a Teaser"
There were a thousand Manitas, being exchanged for Pesetas
Man! It was hard not to laugh out loud
I couldn't believe the size of the crowd
You must have fooled them into coming
Wow! There were women and children, too
They would have hanged us if they knew
I think I know for certain
Inside you sniggered so hearty, you only came for the party

Man, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was mean

Remember the time, what a time, we had down in Barcelona
after you'd been slaying babies
There, for a time, I was fooled by your disguises, but I
never thought of smashing rules
You wore the yellow bandana and gave out Heavenly Manna
Then in Amsterdam you were perfect fun

You never let on you had a gun
and then you shot that Spanish Dancer
The speed at which we ran for a mile or two,
they would have crucified us if they knew
I think I know for certain
Inside you sniggered so hearty, we only killed for the party

Man, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was mean
*You think you're important and clever
I'll tell you now where that's at
You can't be this way for ever and ever
Sooner or later you'll fall*

Man, show me something I've never seen, you're only real in your
Dream Machine
And all your games are a little drastic
Just throw me out if I get obscene but that's the way that I've
always been
I think I know for certain
Inside you sniggered so hearty, we're only living a party

Man, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was mean
