lyrics

In here you can be anything
Worth or unworthy of imagining
An empress more tempestuous than any king
A bawd stripped to nothing

We’ve potions both wild and serene
Shadows, smoke will set the scene
With heads to sever and lambs to wean
Our promiscuous virgin queen

All clad in furs and lace
All showered with champagne and grace
With ruby lips and golden hair
As if culled from a dream or nightmare
Throbbing scepter in one hand
she strides to survey her land
and tall and awful stands for all to see
on The Balcony

We’ll draw a bath for you of gin and milk
and we will bandage you in skin and silk
On your head we place a crown of glass
in this godforsaken palace

Anoint your sons with blood and vaseline
Send the unworthy to the guillotine
Even her mercy is the most obscene
Our promiscuous virgin queen

about

Strangers On A Train Copenhagen, Denmark

Cabaret, sea shantys, polka, vaudeville and echoes of tango all meet up when Strangers On A Train take the stage. It is music that unfolds after dark and will take you on a ride through the dark side of life with songs about lust, temptation, fornication, covert beauty and drunken suffering.

We promise you loads of harmonica, music for your dancing shoes and stories from the unknown taverns.
