Lori Glory - Stina Nordenstam

Lori Glory you’re on the list

Beware of what’s coming

Though hard to resist

Lori Glory

Like a fly drawn to light

You met me at the airport

You were such a sight

I said nothing and then nothing and then nothing

And then you said «The man that I love

Loves you, so I will love you too»

Lori Glory

In the back seat of a cab

Did I dream that you kissed me?

Lori, I’m so sad

Men claim the right of living

Of climbing, fighting and flying

They claim the right of living

So you became an expert on dying

Men took all the decisions

About what and why and how and when

You learned the part of refusals

And you played it very well

Lori Glory

Like a fly drawn to light

At all the bars where you took me You were the queen of the night

Lori Glory

Why is there love

Why do we stand all this pain

When there’s no help from above?

Lori Glory

My bags are packed

Our last walk across Manhattan

Such a balancing act

You gave me access to the world of hangovers

You were it’s irresistible Miss

You were the princess of leftovers

Of course you could spare a kiss

Lori Glory

My beautiful friend

Don’t give up on me yet and

I’ll stay with you 'till the end

Lori Glory

The girl that I like

Promise to fight harder

Next time they strike
