Marc Almond Ruby Red
Well it seems you have a heart I saw it once so I know it's true You let it out on Sundays when You let it beat me black and blue When you went and stole my heart I saw it go so I know it's true It was a ruby, ruby, ruby red It was the most precious gift I could give to you It was as red as the sun in the evening sky It was as red as the fire in a panther's eye It was as red as the rose under the summer sun Like a fire from a killer's gun Ruby, ruby red Shine a light onto this boy's bed There's a street lamp glowing in my head Oh, Ruby, ruby, ruby red Well it seems you have a soul You let it go so I know it's true It was a ruby, ruby, ruby red It keeps me warm when I'm feeling sad and blue Well you went and stole my heart I saw it go so I know it's true I wrapped it up in a bouquet of barbed wire It was the wickedest gift I could give to you It was as red as the sun in the evening sky It was as red as the fire in a panther's eye It was as red as the rose under the summer sun Like a fire from a killer's gun Ruby, ruby red Shine a light onto this boy's bed There's a street lamp glowing in my head Oh, Ruby, ruby, ruby red Oh just like Johnny Rio baby I need to be desired I give up looking for my past For the ones I left behind Ruby red, ruby red, hey, hey, hey Ruby, ruby red Shine a light onto this boy's bed There's a street lamp glowing in my head Oh, Ruby, ruby, ruby red It was the most precious jewel I could give to you Colour me red when I'm feeling blue The colour of a kiss In a young girl's dream The mark of a guillotine A drop of blood from a single thorn Red wet sheets in the afternoon A red light leading to my tomb Ruby red all around my room Ruby, ruby red Oh shine a light onto this boy's bed Oh, ruby, ruby, ruby red
