Kevin Ayers
ballad of a salesman who sold himself 2008 remastered version
Select language to translate this lyric
There was moonlight and laughter
That danced on the sands
And bloodstained pianos
Are played without hands
Such a promising music
Sweet whispers and dreams
From a travelling window,
The salesman who screamed.
Moonlight, saturday night
It's now or never
Oh play stormy weather,
For me, for me.
I lived in the flower shop
Called love
is
so
sweet!
And I get all my kicks
From the customers' feet.
Well, I'm just a stranger,
None stranger than i.
My head in the quicksand
My feet in the sky.
I was carefully crazy
When playing the game.
'cause business is business
And I'm not to blame.
Climb on my back
It's a wet afternoon;
A bottle of booze,
A bit of a tune to sing;
Goodbye, everything;
Goodbye, everything...
