a marriage made in heaven (US version only) Lyrics

Tindersticks
Curtains
a marriage made in heaven (US version only)
With Isabella Rossellini

She fell in love with my singing

She knew the bells started ringing

She thought there was only her there

But, me, I just live for the clapping

A hand delivery of an invite to my premiere

(Nikki Sin version): I sent him tickets for my new film

When he fell in love, I was acting

I sent her flowers, asked her to marry me

But all I heard was their clapping

Now she cries with a cigarette at the window

He croons and moans like he's hurting

She cries so well

He croons and moans, just croons and moans
[ Tindersticks Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

Now, I never thought [I had no idea] that she needed direction

And he was at the mercy of his writers

For the songs I needed [for me] to touch her

Those sad, sad songs to make me happy

Now she cries with a cigarette at the window

He croons and moans like he's hurting

She cries so well

He croons and moans, just croons and moans

We re-enact the love scenes from her/my movies

But I never thought, but she uses a stand-in

His voice is croakier every day now

And she cries so well

..........Oooooh, I'm hurting.......

...........Go away, go away.....
