Lyrics Marianne Faithfull – Want To Buy Some Illusions
Text:
Want to buy some illusions
Slightly used, second-hand?
They were lovely illusions
Reaching high, built on sand
They had a touch of paradise
A spell you can’t explain
For in this crazy paradise
You are in love with pain
A spell you can’t explain
For in this crazy paradise
You are in love with pain
Want to buy some illusions
Slightly used, just like new?
Such romantic illusions
And they’re all about you
Too bad they all fell apart
Like dreams often do
They were lovely illusions
But they just wouldn’t come true
Slightly used, just like new
Such romantic illusions
And they’re all about you
I’d sell them all for a penny
They make pretty souvenirs
Take my lovely illusions
Some for laughs, some for tears
