lyrics

I tried so hard to tell her
that this was not the answer
willing and unstable
she was born to be a dancer

Always on the table
inside her maisonette
stood a tiny statue
with a face full of regret

She wonders through the streets
that tell her where to go
and the city never sleeps
because it doesn't have a home

Born inside a test tube
because Daddy wasn't clean -
the product of a madman and
a dirty magazine

I loved you in Biarritz
I loved you in Biarritz
I loved you in Biarritz
All the time

There seems to be a problem
with the place in which we live
the butcher's lost his temper
and the vicar won't forgive

See the village moron
standing on his own
laughing at himself
and taking pictures with his phone

With every open doorway
and all the shining lights
you'd think that ib the face of death
they'd learn to be polite

If there is a God
I'd like to let him in
I'd ask him what he's done with George
then kick him in the shins

I loved you in Biarritz
I loved you in Biarritz
I loved you in Biarritz
All the time

I remember nightly
I would sit and wait
always in the kitchen
always in a state

She used to sing so softly
it took away my pain
but since she killed my brother
it'll never be the same

I wish it could be different
and that we could start again
the world has lost a lover, a thinker and a friend
All across the country I hear her little voice

I'd like to go and see her but I haven't got a choice

because
I loved you in Biarritz
I loved you in Biarritz
I loved you in Biarritz
