How beautiful you are

From the window of our honeymoon
The night looks a mite bizarre
They´re burning us in effigy
And smoke´s blots out the stars
They´re torturing our servants
By the light of an armoured car
Please don´t ask if it´s the end of the line
As I never could see that far
Tonight I´d rather look at you
How beautiful you are
If they ask you "what are lovers"
Tell them "lovers are
Set against the order
We live outside the law"
I´m no hero under torture
I´ll tell them all I heard and saw
I saw everything in you, my love
How beautiful you are
[Solo]
Through a broken telescope
We focus on the stars
I don´t want my vision magnified
I don´t need to see that far
From the window of our honeymoon
Draw the curtains cross the bars
Let´s spare ourselves the spectacle
The problem´s theirs not ours
Tonight I´d rather look at you
How beautiful you are
How beautiful you are
How beautiful
How beautiful
How beautiful you are
You are
The night looks a mite bizarre
They´re burning us in effigy
And smoke´s blots out the stars
They´re torturing our servants
By the light of an armoured car
Please don´t ask if it´s the end of the line
As I never could see that far
Tonight I´d rather look at you
How beautiful you are
If they ask you "what are lovers"
Tell them "lovers are
Set against the order
We live outside the law"
I´m no hero under torture
I´ll tell them all I heard and saw
I saw everything in you, my love
How beautiful you are
[Solo]
Through a broken telescope
We focus on the stars
I don´t want my vision magnified
I don´t need to see that far
From the window of our honeymoon
Draw the curtains cross the bars
Let´s spare ourselves the spectacle
The problem´s theirs not ours
Tonight I´d rather look at you
How beautiful you are
How beautiful you are
How beautiful
How beautiful
How beautiful you are
You are
