La Belle et la Bête

Babyshambles

I'll tell you a story but you won't listen, 
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition, 
It's the story of a coked-up pansy 
Who spent his nights in a flights of fancy, 

Met two fellas over gin and mixers, 
They talked for a while he soon got the picture, 
One was a souped up Soho mincer, 
The other was a pikey with a knowledge for scriptures. 

Then the conversation turned evil, 
Talked, talked and talked about people, 
Why did you do it to so many people? 

Stumble left out of the boozer 
... (?) 
... another life (?) 
... looking alright (?) 

That girls out way ahead of the game 
Way ahead of the game 
Way ahead of the game 

You've turned your back upon her 
One too many times, 
Spent all her hard earned money 
Getting high, she sang 

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful 
Is she more beautiful than me? 
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful 
Is she more beautiful than me? 

She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball 
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball 
She's La Belle Et La Bete at the ball 
...  

You've turned your back upon her 
One too many times 
Spent all her hard earned money 
Just getting high... she sang 

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful 
Is she more beautiful than me? 
Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful 
Is she more beautiful than me? 

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful 
Is she more beautiful than she?
