"Helen Of Troy" lyrics - JOHN CALE

[Intro:]
Oh, do you see there - him standing in the street?
Mmm, he looks so neat
Listen maybe I've seen him before
He's running round with all the boys
Aw, love him
Mmm, big thighs

Greet me, greet me in the dark
Shiny, shiny Joan of Arc
When the moonlight starts its glow
Cold heart Helen, queen of them all

She's got charisma, got thunderstorm
Like a baby, never, never been born
She's got mammon, mammon in the skies
In the corners of her eyes

[Chorus:]
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy

[Intro Reprise]
Oh, look at him, isn't he gorgeous
Such big thighs all oiled and mine
Oh listen, he's got to go
I want him in my arms to stay

Big fat mama done me wrong
Left me hanging all alone
But that bitch is as old, is as old, is as old, is as old, is as old, is as old
As that, that dirty old crow right out there in the cold

[Chorus:]
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy

Mercy, mercy, mercy me
I'm so scared, please comfort me
I don't wanna be, don't wanna be your backstreet boy
Take back the house of Troy

[Chorus:]
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy
Oh, Helen of Troy

[Outro:]
Standing there under the lights
Your eyes shining bright
I want you all of the time
Soon your body and all of it, mine
Oh come up to the [?]
Oh fill me with awe, that's a [?]
Lubricate me, don't hate me
But you're swimming
