about

Circe. A reworking of 'Down At The Old Bull & Bush' meets Crystal Chandeliers (Ted Harris)

lyrics

Red lights, onto Bella Cohen's
Swinging from the chandeliers
Na na na na na

Zoe Higgins, Florry Talbot
And Kitty Ricketts are here

Sexual fetishes,
Fantasies and transgressions
Putting Bloom in the dock
Mrs Yelverton Barry,
And Mrs Bellingham

Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on the walls
We're all hallucinating - they've got us by the balls
But will the rowdy crowd that had us laughing loud
End in tears, swaying from the chandeliers?

I never did fit in too well with the folks you knew
And it's plain to see that the likes of me, don't fit with you
So you traded me for the gaiety of well to do
And I see dead people in the chandeliers

Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on the walls
We're all hallucinating - they've got us by the balls
But will the rowdy crowd that had us laughing loud
End in tears, swaying from the chandeliers?

instrumental break

I see Stephen is overpaying for services received
From the chosen girl of the social world, if stories be believed
So I will do what I have to and I will safekeep
The rest of Stephen's money in case he falls asleep

Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on the walls
We're all hallucinating - they've got us by the balls
But will the rowdy crowd that had us laughing loud
End in tears, swaying from the chandeliers?
It will end in tears, smashing the chandeliers
