Marianne Faithfull - Horses and High Heels lyrics

When I lived in the city of Dublin It suited my face and my tears The talk, the drink and the friends were good And stood for my hopes and my fears I lived in a flat in Ballsbridge And at two in the morning I'd hear The sound as the horses came back from their work And the horses clip-clop coming near Horses and high heels, horses and high heels What every city knows and fears Late at night in Paris In my apartment that 's up from the street I hear a girl in high heels who must run in To meet a lover extremely discreet Horses and high heels, horses and high heels What every city knows and fears In Dublin and Paris women are running Ghostly horses return from the park Have to meet a man of their dreams And stables so warm and dark Horses and high heels, horses and high heels What every city knows and fears.
