How Beautiful You Are

From the window of our honeymoon

The night looks a might bizarre

They're burning us in effigy

And smoke's blots out the stars



They're torturing our servants

By the light of an armoured car

Please don't ask if it's the end of the line

As I never could see that far



Tonight I'd rather look at you

How beautiful you are

If they ask you "what are lovers"

Tell them "lovers are



Set against the order

We live outside the law"

I'm no hero under torture

I'll tell them all I heard and saw



I saw everything in you, my love

How beautiful you are



Through a broken telescope

We focus on the stars

I don't want my vision magnified

I don't need to see that far



From the window of our honeymoon

Draw the curtains cross the bars

Let's spare ourselves the spectacle

The problem's theirs not ours

Tonight I'd rather look at you



How beautiful you are

How beautiful you are

How beautiful

How beautiful

How beautiful you are

You are
