requiem in denim and leopardskin
i thought it was like a film
reviewed but never seen
where everybody played themselves
as a drama king or queen
the music was overwhelming
glittering and thin
solemn and shabby like a requiem
in denim and leopardskin
i visualize the flashbacks
school, punk rock, success
parties, too much of everything
the cliches, the candles, the mess
lucian in the scene with david
bryan in a tux
mccartney on a blitz in zanzibar
all hollywood redux
ossie’s last collection
biba’s closing sale
a little more rouge on powdered cheeks
but the base is pale
this is our last chance for goodbye
let the music begin
shining and soaring like a requiem
in denim and leopardskin
it ended with the motorbike
a search for evidence
poring over old photographs
to make it all fake sense
glamorous in its own way
shouting above the din
solemn and shabby like a requiem
in denim and leopardskin
johnny’s wearing brothel creepers
malcolm’s round the block
adam’s in a jarman film
but look he’s let it rock
the johnson’s leather jacket
hair by keith at smile
all you need to make it big is s-x and style
this is our last chance for goodbye
let the music begin
shining and soaring like a requiem
in denim and leopardskin
this is our last chance for goodbye
let the music begin
shining and soaring like a requiem
in denim and leopardskin
(requiem in denim and leopardskin)
this is our last chance for goodbye
let the music begin
shining and soaring like a requiem
in denim and leopardskin
this is our last chance for goodbye
let the music begin
shining and soaring like a requiem
in denim and leopardskin
