Lyrics Bryan Ferry – Casanova
Text:
You — the hero
So many times
You’ve loved
And didn’t linger
Now my finger
Points at you
Another loser
You — an island
On your own
Complete
In every detail
Monumental
A precious jewel
Or just a fool
Innovator
It’s in your mind
And blood
I watch it simmer
I see you’re courting
More despair
No hope?
Not a glimmer
Now you’re nothing
But second hand
In glove
With second rate now
Now you’re flirting
With heroin
Or is it cocaine?
Casanova —
Points at you
Another loser
You — an island
On your own
Complete
In every detail
Monumental
A precious jewel
Or just a fool
Innovator
It’s in your mind
And blood
I watch it simmer
I see you’re courting
More despair
No hope?
Not a glimmer
Now you’re nothing
But second hand
In glove
With second rate now
Now you’re flirting
With heroin
Or is it cocaine?
Casanova —
Is that your name
Or do you live there?
I know my place
Is here with you
Tonight
But not together
Or do you live there?
I know my place
Is here with you
Tonight
But not together
