Lyrics
Venus Of The Hardsell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Love, adventure death and glory
The short goodbye
The whispered story
One last glance at the chameleon dance
And into the dark across the park
I ain't no mark for the venus of the hardsell
(Say it)
I ain't no mark for the venus of the hardsell
Saints and sinners, new beginners
Lipstick traces and tv dinners
Cigarsmoke bars and expensive new cars
The acapulco dive and the media jive
They all survive for the venus of the hardsell
(Know it)
They all survive for the venus of the hardsell
Empty graves and shallow heads
Shallow smiles and empty beds
Betta get a room without a view
Sail out of sight of land
Momma won't like it but you should
Travel with a roughneck crew
Listen out for all that's said
Just worry when the hounds aren't fed
(Gotta)
Worry when the hounds aren't fed
A rocket flying to the moon with images of venus on either side
Still from the 'venus of the hardsell' video
'Cos one mutt yaps and the pack starts baying
Blood for the gods it's cheaper than praying
Soldier-boys die but superman still flies
Violent days - it's a permanent craze
It never pays to love the venus of the hardsell
(Leave it)
Don't screw around with the venus of the hardsell
There're new uniforms at the church bazaar
Fanatics got the rising star
Thin dark streets ring with marching men's feet
Past the billboard bride troops the national pride
It's all supplied by the venus of the hardsell
(Fuck it!)
It's all supplied by the venus of the hardsell
Nixon's names left on the moon
Where apollo's masons called the tune
To cast their influence from above
And damn all lunacy and love
You know they made her the venus of the hardsell
(Raped her)
You know they made her the venus of the hardsell
They're winning momma and it's getting dark
D'you think there's time to build an ark?
Tomorrow's a fiction, yesterday's a lie
I had a friend stuck his works in his eye
Perhaps he'll die?
I wonder why we don't cry for the venus of the hardsell
Don't sigh for the venus of the hardsell
Don't lie for the venus of the hardsell
Don't die for the venus of the hardsell
Free her and live
