the much awaited venus in gold (reed vs young, circa 2005)

I want to live,
I want to give
comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

It's these expressions
I never give:
ermine furs adorn the imperious
severin, severin awaits you there

i am tired, i am weary
i could sleep for a thousand years
You keep me searching
for a heart of gold

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
taste the whip, in love not given lightly
taste the whip, now plead for me

i am tired, i am weary
i could sleep for a thousand years
You keep me searching
And I'm getting old

shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
whiplash girlchild in the dark
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold
