Matador - Garland Jeffreys

Take me to the Matador

He will know just what it’s for

He will help me with my life

He will open ev’ry door

When the bull is in the ring

I need all the help you can

And the Mariachis sing

With the lonely mandolin

See those people shout out loud

Give me more and give me more

And I’m thinkin' to myself

Take me to the Matador

Take me to the Matador

He will fill and ease my soul

He will give me confidence

When I think I’ve lost control

He will help me with my Muse

In the age of win and lose

With the ancient cup and swords

And a hundred Spanish lords

See one thousands violins

Golden trumpets soar on high

Waves and waves of joyful hymns

Silver sonnets reach the sky

Fight the battles and the blues

Wars of love and wars of art

Tonight the cape is what I choose

Goya’s in my Spanish heart

He will help me with my love

Dance the dance that lovers do

Rhumba with the velvet glove

'Neath the Barcelona moon

See one thousands violins

Golden trumpets soar on high

Waves and waves of joyful hymns

Silver sonnets rech the sky

Take me to the Matador
