From the recording Soho Mannequin
Soho Mannequin waits, dancing through the mirror of desire, dressed in glad rags and secrets. A slow-burn descent into longing & illusion.
Electro-pop drenched in theatrical mystery.
Behind her shuttered eyes, will you see the sin?
Lyrics
Standing by looking down at anyone who comes to stare
Are they really here or do they even care
Gets dressed up by a stylist, wears disguises so must insist
They put the best glad rags on, make the fake lashes long
Wait's there by herself all alone
Chorus:
The mannequin of Soho, sitting in a shop window
A lady of the night in her underwear and tights
A reminder of the dark side of the town
Lights are very bright red and they flicker on and on
No one see's her bare all when her clothes are taken off
The dresser puts back on the bra, climbs into a light blue car
She'll try not to cry, let the make-up dry
And wait’s there by herself all alone
Chorus: x 2
Bridge:
Moon glow is replaced by sun as the drivers go on home
Some giving one last flash while pocketing their cash
Seeing how the new day will begin, behind her eyes is the vision of a sin
x2
Chorus: x2
