Doll By Doll / Jackie Leven Alert

Steve,

Doll by Doll's "Palace of Love" is one of my all-time favourite tracks but I have never managed to track down the full lyrics. You must be a fan so any ideas?

Best wishes
Ron

Hi Ron, In a word no! I do not have the sleeve notes with my CD and my LP has long gone to vinyl heaven. I can give you (hopefully):

When the stripshow is over and the management have turned off the light
Silent people had walked back into the night
I thought of you still living alone

When the neon universe was winking to an end
Taxi drivers yawned from Earls Court to The Strand
I thought of you decorating your new home

I know they say love is blind
But if your heart was touching mine

The city was bursting into flower for the spring
It's time to dress up in that old costume again
Before we go down to the stripshow

From Tokyo to Soho ladies are doing the same dance
A fear of distance masquerading as romance
As we all go down to the stripshow

I know they saye love is blind
But if your heart was touching mine

I'll give you something that you can't ignore
I'll give you something you've been searching for
I'll give you something that you can't ignore
I'll give you something you've been searching for

A plastic baby floating down your canal
Two drunken playboys trying hard to be pals
Some kind of celebration for drawing blood from a stone

When the stripshow is over and the management have turned off the light
Silent people had walked back into the night
I thought of you still living alone

I know they saye love is blind
But if your heart was touching mine

I'll give you something that you can't ignore
I'll give you something you've been searching for
I'll give you something that you can't ignore
I'll give you something you've been searching for

Stripshow from Gypsy Blood.

Might be worth asking Mr Leven himself for the lyrics - go here.

Thanks Steve, I know I have "Palace of Love" on a 45 somewhere in the loft and "Gypsy Blood" on vinyl. I might buy "Remember" on CD just to hear the track again. Oh yes, I left a message in the Guestbook so just maybe.......

Have a good one

Ron
