Текст песни The Tiger Lillies - Suicide [Lulu - A Murder Ballad]

She destroyed him,
Like a lamb brought to the slaughter,
Naive hopes of fidelity,
That she would love him
Be his little pet,
His sweet love,
Were quickly replaced by a realisation of a viper,
Bent on self-destruction,
So used to the attention of the many
To be without them turned her into a caged animal
Shunning’s first wife died and Shunning
Had a second wife in view
Wished to be so faithful to her
That he’d have to drop Lulu
After all she had a husband
What need Shunning on the side?
When Schwartz he finds out
He’s beside himself beside
She needed a pimp not someone to love
He was lost uncomprehending of her needs
How could she want other men?
How could she want to dance in front of them?
Dribbling their lust over her naked body, did she want it?
It was all she knew
She could not live without a man who did not demand it,
Who did not exploit her beauty, make money from it,
For any corruption,
But he couldn’t understand the corrupted soul
Just wanted her attention and love, no other man
And so she drove him mad,
In the nightmarish claustrophobia
And in a gesture of desperation and despair
He hanged himself from the rafters,
suicide
