Sebastian Songtext

von Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

Radiate simply, the candle is burning
So low for me
Generate me limply, I can't seem to place
Your name, cherie
To rearrange all these thoughts in a moment
Is suicide
Come to a strange place, we'll talk over old times
We never spied

Somebody called me Sebastian
Somebody called me Sebastian

Work out a rhyme, toss me the time, lay me
You're mine
And we all know, oh yeah!

Your Persian eyes sparkle, your lips, ruby blue
Never speak a sound
You, oh so gay, with Parisian demands,
You can run around
And your view of society screws up my mind
Like you'll never know
Lead me away, come inside,
See my mind in kaleidoscope

Somebody called me Sebastian
Somebody called me Sebastian

Love me sublime, mangle my mind
Do it in style
So we all know, oh yeah!

You're not gonna run, baby we've only just begun, baby
To compromise
Slagged in a bowery saloon love's a story
We'll serialise
Pale angel face, green-eye shadow, the glitter
Is outaside
No courtesan could begin to decipher
Your beam of light

Somebody called me Sebastian
Somebody called me Sebastian

Dance on my heart, laugh swoop and dart,
La-di-di-da

Now we all know you, yeah!
