MADELAINE TRUE
"Madelaine True" is the third song by Roma! Like "Queenie" and "Kate", it was produced by David Barratt and inspired lyrically by Joseph Moncure March's 1928 epic poem, The Wild Party.
Take a look take a look take a look look
At Madelaine True
Her body is a marvel is a marvel
But her mouth is so cruel
I wanna pretend
Pretend it’s the beginning even though I know
That this is the endNo No you don’t have to speak
Cuz the look in your eyes
Makes her knees get weakNo
No you don’t have to stir
There ain’t a thing you can do
To get away from herOn the bed is a girl is a girl all
Alone and aloof
Maddy knows Maddy knows Maddy knows
But she’s asking for proofHungry eyes slanted eyes painted eyes
Green and cold like a snake
Cross the room sit right down take her hand
Watch her give it a shakeNo No you don’t have to speak
Cuz the look in your eyes
Makes her knees get weakNo
No you don’t have to stir
There ain’t a thing you can do
To get away from herCandles flicker and they flare and they sputter
And they start to go out
Shadows leap across the room cross the room with a silent shout
Maddy True Maddy True I see you and the girl are as one
On the couch in the dark and she’s pale and you’re grey as a gun
No No you don’t have to speak
Cuz the look in your eyes
Makes her knees get weakNo
No you don’t have to stir
There ain’t a thing you can do
To get away from herSmall white fingers wrapped around your waist
And a faraway look on her sweet sweet face
And the rise and the fall of her chest make you want to forget
