John Cale Helen of Troy
Oh, did you see him standing in the street
Hmmm, he looked so big, you're so big, but I've seen him before
He's running round with all the boys, oh thats him, hmmm, big thighs
Creepy, creepy in the dark, shiny, shiny Joan of Arc,
When the moonlight starts its glow, cold hard Helen, Queen of Troy
She got charisma, got thunderstorms, like a baby, never been born
She got mammon, mammon in disguise, in the cold rooms of her eyes
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh look at him, inn't he gorgeous, such big thighs, all oiled and mine
Listen, it's got to go, I want him in my arms to stay
Big fat mama done me wrong, left me hanging all alone
But that bitch is as old, is as old, is as old
's that dirty old crone right out there in the cold
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy
Mercy, mercy, mercy me, I'm so scared, please comfort me
I don't wanna be, your banshee boy, baying like the hounds of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy
Standing there from under the lights, your eyes shining bright
I want you all of the time, fill me with awe, all of the time
Lubricate me, don't hate me
