Imperial Hotel (Live)

歌詞

Coming up the drive, he's soon to arrive A young millionaire in his Rolls Royce Like the queen before him, he knows what he likes And this fine country home is the obvious choice Ah young man, young man You're far too blind to realise you're part of a plan Walking through the door, he likes what he sees A man of means, he's not easy to please But he's not thought of Emma, who hates to see things change But he doesn't feel the Imperial Hotel's something very strange Ah young man, young man You're far too blind to realise you're part of a plan Emma's waiting for him, she's acting out her mind I'll have to play along he thinks, I'll have to take my time So he signs the empty register, the first guest in years But Emma rubbed her wizened hands, dispelling all her fears Ah young man, young man You're far too blind to realise you're part of a plan Follow me, my dear, and the best room shall be yours Our finest is the bridal suite, unused for fifty years Take your time in choosing, a mistake is ill-advised So act the perfect gentleman, and the hotel will be your prize Along the hall and to the right, you'll find the bedroom door Fling it wide and enter in, the bridal ghost is yours He comes to a stop in front of a door and watches her escape His last view of Emma shows she's old no more, he's paid for his mistake So now at last he has his wish, he owns this great hotel A prisoner in these four walls and desperate to sell Left alone with his memories, he was so much younger then One day his turn will be done and the story begins again Left alone with his memories, he was so much younger then One day his turn will be done and the story begins again
