lyrics

A Distant Faded Flower

With your Saturday shopping
and your handbag so fine
Your late-night parties
conversation divine
It was so good to know you
at the height of your power
But now you crumble
like a distant faded flower

Like a scene out of The Wasteland
you can make it alright
Playing Black Celebration
on a withdrawn Saturday night
Moving moment to moment baby
moving hour to hour
And now you crumble
like a distant faded flower

Sugar-coating days are over -
a new regime now holds sway
A late-night family blossoming
in the crumbling decay
You were radiant in the capitals
but you're nothing now
Universal anticipation
awaits your final bow
Over in the corner
I watch you glower
and then you crumble....

like a distant faded flower
