Church Louisiana
(Kilbey/Wilson-Piper/Koppes/Powles) Empty birdcage in her room Curtains pulled against the moon Follow her down to Louisiana Hotel room bedside manner God I've got to get back soon She wriggles like a fish in a net Details you can never forget One thing or another Never any (bother?) considering the (regret?) //or// Never anybody causing me no regret ? That's my story Cost a fortune Louisiana Black rain falling in the night Strangers meet in the lamp light Once in her life Louisiana Standing alone out on the veranda Christ I must have been a sight She struggles like a leaf in the wind Waiting for the music to begin One thing or another Always (miss the other lover ?) Look what a state I'm in That's my story Nothing special Louisiana Billy moved to Abilene Lou is searching for morphine Next stop is Louisiana No-one there with a welcome banner I don't suppose that they're too keen She juggled her gentlemen friends And suddenly the war ends Coming home finding other men in hiding Biding her lonely weekends What a story Cast of thousands Louisiana Empty birdcage in her room Shadows shrunk against the moon Follow her down to Louisiana Hotel room bedside manner God I've got to get back soon God I've got to get back soon
