La Belle et la Bete - Babyshambles

I’ll tell you a story but you won’t listen,

It’s about a nightmare steeped in tradition,

It’s the story of a coked-up pansy

Who spent his nights in a flights of fancy,

Met two fellas over gin and mixers,

They talked for a while he soon got the picture,

One was a souped up Soho mincer,

The other was a pikey with a knowledge for scriptures.

Then the conversation turned evil,

Talked, talked and talked about people,

Why did you do it to so many people?

Stumble left out of the boozer

… another life (?)

… looking alright (?)

That girls out way ahead of the game

Way ahead of the game

Way ahead of the game

You’ve turned your back upon her

One too many times,

Spent all her hard earned money

Getting high, she sang

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful

Is she more beautiful than me?

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful

Is she more beautiful than me?

She’s La Belle Et La Bete at the ball

She’s La Belle Et La Bete at the ball

She’s La Belle Et La Bete at the ball

You’ve turned your back upon her

One too many times

Spent all her hard earned money

Just getting high… she sang

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful

Is she more beautiful than me?

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful

Is she more beautiful than me?

Is she more beautiful, is she more beautiful

Is she more beautiful than she?

I’ll tell you a story but you won’t listen

It’s about a nightmare steeped in tradition
