Marc Almond - The Dancing Marquis lyrics

When I was a child I made a crown Of silver paper and sticky tape Adorned it with old Christmas things To make a crown fit for a king A secret shared by only me A world adorned in fantasy Ruled by me Rich and free So smother me in Ambergris Make a perfume out of me Bergamot and Veltiver Put your face in my bouquet Inhale me The dancing marquis School it taught me to be grey To throw all of my dream away It didn't have a lot to say to me I never needed any lesson Except the one to put a dress on Don't need a priest for my confession You'll see So smother me in Ambergris Make a perfume out of me Bergamot and Veltiver Put your face in my bouquet Inhale me The dancing marquis A snake dance of the seven veils A sailing ship with satin fails A Hermes hat with seagull wings I made a crown fit for a king Didn't have a care of sorrow Not a thought about tomorrow Never begged or ever barrowed anything 'Cause I was king So smother me in Ambergris Make a perfume out of me Bergamot and Veltiver Put your face in my bouquet Inhale me The dancing marquis So smother me in Ambergris Make a perfume out of me Bergamot and Veltiver Put your face in my bouquet Inhale me The dancing marquis
