And Anna was a beauty in her youthShe had long black hair and looked a lot more like youThan you think you doI knew her mother wellHer lead light eyes were lovely coal smoke blue as wellBut I knew her father tooAnd I viewed life like a bedroomThrough a keyhole on a doorWhile he saw it like a pantry through a window on a wallWe never got on well, were never friends at allAnd I was just a barnacle that clung on through it allHe was a small time politicianOr a tele-prompter's charge trying toBury a misdeed from way back when,And so he lined all of the Hacks up on the grass,Called them gentlemen and friends,Gave his dog whistle a blastAnd every face was a mask,What is anybody doing who ain't pretending?What is anybody doing,Why would he frighten off his friendsWith something useless as the truth?Anna was a beauty in her youthDid she scare all your friends away?Letras de cancionesDid she frighten all your friends away?Did she scare all of your friends away?And Anna was a beauty in her youthShe had some fine boys on her trail, like the tailor's sonWho scaled the ranks ofSuits and all he touched turned into lootI knew his kind very wellAnd when the doric columns crackedIt tore the shirt right off his backSo they sold him down the river before pocketing the cashHe weren't so lucky thenBut it didn't bother Anna,She had boys on tapAnd Jack was a probono defence lawyerAt a firm called Young and Black,He'd been made a junior partnerAnd shown how to work a rortMaking charitable donations toSalvation Army Corps and Veterans Without WheelchairsAnd the Widows Of The WarsHe was a Liberating Angel with aClothes Peg on his nose,But he swooped a little low one timeAnd crashed into some locals whoBeat seven shades of shame through himThen levied heavy taxes of their ownAnd said necessity is nine tenths of surgeryHe owed his face's health,And to watch them very carefully'Cause this is where the equalDistribution of wealth is going toAnna was a beauty in her youthDid she scare all your friends away?Did she frighten all your friends away?Did she scare all of your friends away?And Anna was a beauty in her youthIt was at the garden partyWhere we first were introducedBy her father who'd retiredInto a well of sweet vermouthBut I knew what was coming nextWhile he'd been winning plaudits for his ornithologyI'd been selling Winnebagos to less heeled retireesIt had not been going wellI moved RV's on hire-purchaseWhen I knew I should have leasedAnd my investors all went bankruptSo I couldn't supplyAnd I could not meet repaymentsEven if demand increased,I wished they'd pay me what they owed meThen all fuck off like good pensionersAnd die and have a holiday at leastThen he said "money won't bring happiness"And I very nearly criedBut he didn't venture further, no one saying that ever tries,I took a hard slug on my drinkAnd Anna watched me while I meltedLike an ice cube in the desert of her shadeAnd if she smiled at you there'd be nothing youWouldn't do 'cause women made like AnnaAre born coasting onThe admiration, which Anna made the most of,She turned one against the other, all friendsAt one time or other yet theySet upon themselvesAnd cleared the way from me to herYou and I were happy thenAnd happy's no defenceBut if it's any consolationI expected someone elseThat would be her masterstrokeAnd I am standing here today as proffAnna was a beauty in her youthDid she scare all your friends away?Did she frighten all your friends away?Did she scare all of your friends away?
