"Spoilt Victorian Child" lyrics - THE FALL

THE FALL
"Spoilt Victorian Child"
(Simon Rogers / Mark E. Smith)

Past trees the fairies are flyin', past trees with rose bushes in
The child was spoilt Victorian, the child was spoilt Victorian
Spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child
Sugar and cakes appear mean, titting at the table
Tigers pop-up from books
Spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child

Let's take it ten years on
You're looking back from then
Under rough grey blankets
Thread loose stained grey blanket
Spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child
Spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child

Musical chairs rouge cheeks he remembers, through the aqueduct of five years
Spoilt Victorian Child shall avoid reflection
The child was spoilt Victorian, the child was spoilt Victorian, the child was spoilt Victorian
Spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child
Mirrors can't hid the toxic of disfigured Poxes
Spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child, spoilt Victorian child

Past trees the fairies are flyin', past trees with rose bushes in
The butterfly shrugs to fly in, sugar and iced cakes appear mean

The child was spoilt Victorian
The child was spoilt Victorian
Spoilt Victorian child

C.L.O.-pedia
And you know that servants keep their order knowledge
And as you walk on in the footsteps steed babe in the encrusted green unwild
You know you are a spoilt Victorian child
