Originally released by Corsage on Bud Luxford Presents, Vol. 2: On Sale Inside (1981)

lyrics

Rome

Vancouver's not the place for me
I don't like the scenery, oh no
Rome is where I'd rather be
with the statues and machinery, yeah, yeah

Rome

I'd watch the wind on the western shore
the sun it sets on the western world once more
a New Romantic roaming Rome
a soldier in his ancient home, yeah yeah

Rome

Here we are at the Luv-A-Fair
dancing away our despair
my face is now my corsage
the living light of a dying age, yeah yeah

Rome
