Lady of De Manor - Valmouth Theatre Orchestra, Neville Meale & Denise Hirst

The lord of the manor Loves the upstairs maid And I tend the flowers Of the seeds he lays His collar is velvet, His hands are real soft She sleeps with the master I'm awake in the loft I wish in the bedroom The sheets were all torn I wish that the flowers Would only grow thorns The lord of the manor Has a wife of grey He pays the chauffeur To drive her away The lord and my baby Are upstairs alone The one who could stop them Is physically gone I wish in the bedroom The sheets were all torn I wish that the flowers Would only grow thorns

All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse Welcome to the room of people Who have rooms of people that they loved one day, docked away Just because we check the guns at the door Doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades You're loving on the psychopath sitting next to you You're loving on the murderer sitting next to you You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?" But after all I've said, please don't forget (Watch it) All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse We don't deal with outsiders very well They say newcomers have a certain smell You have trust issues, not to mention They say they can smell your intentions You're loving on the freakshow sitting next to you You'll have some weird people sitting next to you You'll think "How did I get here, sitting next to you?" But after all I've said, please don't forget (Watch it) All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse All my friends are heathens, take it slow Wait for them to ask you who you know Please don't make any sudden moves You don't know the half of the abuse Why'd you come? You knew you should have stayed I tried to warn you just to stay away And now they're outside ready to bust It looks like you might be one of us
