Tender Trap

Son Of Dorian Gray

If it rains, I'll take you to Victoria 

Get a train, that might take you home 

Or a plane that goes to California 

Where the gays and dreamers go 

 

Had a band with a man you couldn't trust 

Couldn't stand his unrestrained lust 

 

Liked a boy, but went out with his girlfriend 

She was coy, and he was au fait 

Wrote a hit, but made it so ironic 

Sales were shit, art doesn't pay 

Had a band with a man you couldn't trust 

Couldn’t stand his unrestrained lust

 

You're the son of Dorian Gray 

Beauty withstands decay 

 

No make-up runs 

In the cold London rain 

 

I would like to do the driving for you 

If a tour materialised 

To Japan and maybe California 

See it all through your clear eyes 

Had a band with a man you couldn't trust 

Fifty grand turning into dust 

 

You're the son of Dorian Gray 

Beauty withstands decay 

 

No make-up runs 

In the cold London rain 

Beauty withstands decay 

The son of Dorian Gray 

No make-up runs 

In the cold London rain
