Lyrics
Perfume
First thing that I noticed was a stirring in my gut,
Stale and fuggy air of London clearing opens up.
suddenly electric, my senses overcome,
she walked around the corner
and she made my body numb.
Perfume, perfume
changed the way I thought.
Her perfume, perfume,
changed the way I’m caught.
Her perfume, perfume, shut down all defences:
She can take me to her heart – and I’ll live
live live live live live live live live live live live live live
…with the consequences.
Thrilled by the fragrance it felt right to breathe her in.
Awash with her aroma made desire the natural thing.
was when she looked away, smiling at another man,
realised that her perfume was part of a grander plan.
Perfume perfume
It changed the way I walked.
Perfume perfume – it changed the way I’m caught.
Her perfume perfume - it shaped my needs and wants.
Her bouquet it blew my mind – now I’ll live
live live live live live live live live…..
…with the consequences.
Imagine in the air there’s a trace that makes you buy.
Trace connects desire - greed that makes a planet die.
Is perfume used for good or ill?
Confused is what I am.
Perhaps the chiefs of industry have got a fiendish plan.
Perfume is a subtle blend of beauty, love and light.
Reclaiming scents to heal our life will put the world to right.
A nose olfactory genius will rise above the scum
who manipulate the public and deceive the markets run.
Perfume perfume to clear the fug and lies,
Perfume perfume will open up your eyes.
My perfume, perfume, opens up our minds.
I’d say lay back, relax, relax, relax
and live and live and live and live and live, live, live, live, live…
with the consequences.
Enjoy the consequences
Enjoy the consequences
Open up your heart,
Open up your heart
I said open up your heart
Perfume perfume I love the way you walk
Perfume perfume I love the way you talk.
Perfume perfume I love your sassy style.
Now the fashion’s come around …. let’s live,
live live live live live live live live…
….with the consequences.
