Venus in Furs Hugh Cornwell

[Verse 1]
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Constant bells, my servant, don't forsake him
Strike your mistress, and cure his heart

[Verse 2]
Downy sins and streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

[Chorus]
I am tired and I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colours made of tears

[Verse 3]
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike your mistress, and cure his heart

[Verse 4]
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knees
Taste the whip of love not given lightly
Taste the whip and bleed for me
