Louisiana lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Louisiana lyrics (Kilbey/Wilson-Piper/Koppes/Powles) Empty birdcage in her room Curtains pulled against the moon Follow her down to Louisiana Hotel room bedside manner God I ve got to get back soon She wriggles like a fish in a net Details you can never forget One thing or another Never any (bother?) considering the (regret?) //or// Never anybody causing me no regret ? That s my story Cost a fortune Louisiana Black rain falling in the night Strangers meet in the lamp light Once in her life Louisiana Standing alone out on the veranda Christ I must have been a sight She struggles like a leaf in the wind Waiting for the music to begin One thing or another Always (miss the other lover ?) Look what a state I m in That s my story Nothing special Louisiana Billy moved to Abilene Lou is searching for morphine Next stop is Louisiana No-one there with a welcome banner I don t suppose that they re too keen She juggled her gentlemen friends And suddenly the war ends Coming home finding other men in hiding Biding her lonely weekends What a story Cast of thousands Louisiana Empty birdcage in her room Shadows shrunk against the moon Follow her down to Louisiana Hotel room bedside manner God I ve got to get back soon God I ve got to get back soon song lyrics
