lyrics

I'm done with the party, I'm done with it all,
So done with the invitees, the guests, and their talk so small.
Everybody bores me, talk me to the wall,
It's just my job to please and ply with alcohol.

I wanna be gone, I wanna be free,
Give his face a farewell kiss and quit the city.
I wanna be alone, I wanna be lonely,
Burn my lace and burn my bodice in the armoury.

'Cos there ain't nobody gonna find me in the quietude,
Ecstasy, it blinds me in the quietude.
Won't count the hours, why do we care,
This happiness, this happiness, it follows me everywhere.
In the quietude, in the quietude.

I get a little romance up wherever I can,
I find it high up in the trees, the sea, where it all began.
But seclusion wants me more than any man,
Under my skirt with the breeze until I can no longer stand.

I wanna feel love, I wanna speak easy,
I wanna feel phantom arms around my waist and a phantom lover kiss me,
I bloom in the shadows, in obscurity,
So I'll tear up all of my petticoats, because damn this femininity.

Sorry I'm not a lady in the quietude,
Ecstasy is blinding me in the quietude,
Won't count the hours, why do we care,
This happiness, this happiness, it follows me everywhere.
In the quietude, in the quietude.

Apple blossom and gorse will grow up high to cover me,
No more foolishness at Hampton Court,
What a shame, what a shame, what a pity.

'Cos there ain't nobody gonna find me in the quietude,
Ecstasy, it blinds me in the quietude,
Won't count the hours, why do we care,
This happiness, this happiness, it follows me everywhere.
In the quietude, in the quietude...
