KEVIN COYNE LYRICS - V

 

Victoria Smiles (Hans Pukke/Kevin Coyne - 1987) (STUMBLING ONTO PARADISE)

Victoria smiles with those painted eyes, she's just looking for a friend

Victoria smiles with those painted eyes, maybe she'll find one in the end

Victoria smiles cross the party room, he's dancing with a younger girl

Victoria smiles with those painted eyes, it's a cruel and wicked world

Chorus:

Can you really trust him, do you really need him, you wanted more than just a friend (x2).

Victoria smiles with those painted eyes, as she takes the taxi home

Victoria smiles with those painted eyes, sits in the back seat on her own

Chorus

Down to Westbourne Grove, up the Portobello Road, up and down and back again

Down to Battersea Rise, up to Wandsworth Road, just looking for a friend

Victoria smiles with those painted eyes, as she raps upon my door

Victoria smiles with those painted eyes, she can't take any more

Victoria smiles with those painted eyes, I watch the tears running down

Victoria smiles with those painted eyes, I could never let her down

You can really trust me, if you really need me, if you're looking for a friend (x3)

Vision, Part 1 (Kevin Coyne/Achim Goettert - 1993) (MANSION OF DREAMS)

Rivers of blood I've walked in miles and miles and miles

Looking everywhere for someone to smile

I keep searching and looking for a home

I'm a dope without any home

But I keep looking

Yes I keep looking (x3)

Yes I keep looking and looking (repeat) (x4)

I keep looking

Gonna tell you what's on my mind

Flying angels, the holy kind

My feet don't even scrape the ground

I'm looking and looking in the lost and found

The lost and found (repeat) (x4)

Keep looking (x3) for higher ground (repeat)

I want to hear that angel sound

Keep looking for higher ground

I want to hear that angel sound

I keep looking and one day I'll find that precious thing called peace of mind

I keep hoping, I keep running, I keep hoping, I keep running

There's no fun in always running (x9)

There's no fun in always running (x4)

I can hear the big thing coming

There's no fun in always running

I can hear the big thing coming

There's no fun in always running

There's no fun (x4)

Vision, Part 2 (Kevin Coyne/Achim Goettert - 1993) (MANSION OF DREAMS)

Wheels go full circle, ??

Slightly happy, slighlty glowing

A happy little man

I can see it's easy and now it's not so hard

When you're over fifty, you play the big trump card

I feel good (x5)

?? houses, houses of repute, ill repute

I worried, I worried a million times and more to boot

But there's something on my mind right now

I feel like dancing

Oh I feel good (x5)

Oh you feel good, I feel good
