The Whole Shebang

Velvet Goldmine

    Continues after the ad

    Darling, you can't live your life
    Singing songs in exile
    You were born for stardom's crown
    And not for self-denial
    So don't you close the door on fate
    When she comes to call
    And tell her that you'll join her there
    At the masquerader's ball
    Funny how some people never love at all

    We'll take the whole shebang
    All or nothing, anything
    Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
    We'll take the whole shebang
    Free your heart of guilt and shame
    Come and claim what's yours
    The whole shebang

    Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner, my dear
    Except for contemplations evil brother, love is feared
    But love is extra-terrestrial
    And love falls from the stars
    Like Maxwell Demon's silver disk
    Into this world of ours
    Funny how we keep on loving, true love power

    Continues after the ad

    We'll take the whole shebang
    All or nothing, anything
    Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
    We'll take the whole shebang
    Free your heart of guilt and shame
    Come and claim what's yours
    The whole shebang

    Kick up your heels and paint your face
    Wave goodbye to yesteryear
    We can swing in outer space
    Or from the chandeliers
    Though sometimes it breaks my heart, I hide my tears

    We'll take the whole shebang
    All or nothing, anything
    Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
    We'll take the whole shebang
    Free your heart of guilt and shame
    Come and claim what's yours
    The whole shebang
