At Amber Lyrics
Morrissey
Im calling you from the foyer
Of the sands hotel
Where the men and the women
Are acquainted quite well
And the drunkards keep on drinking
And oh, my room is cold
Im disputing the bill
I will sleep in my clothes
And you, my invalid friend
You slam the receiver when you say
If I had your limbs for a day
I would steam away
Im calling you from the foyer
Of this awful hotel
Where the slime and the grime
Gel
And I cannot - or, I do not
And oh, my room is cold
And Im envying you never having to choose
And you, my invalid friend
You slam the receiver when you say
If I had your limbs for a day
I would steam away
Im calling you from the foyer
Of the sands hotel
Its not low-life, its just people
Having a good time
And oh, my invalid friend
Oh, my invalid friend
In our different ways we are
The same
