SINGER: Marc Almond

SONG:Ruby Red

Well it seems you have a heart
i saw it once so i know it's true
you let it out on sundays when
you let it beat me black and blue
when you went and stole my heart
i saw it go so i know it's true
it was a ruby, ruby, ruby red
it was the most precious gift i could give to you
It was as red as the sun in the evening sky
it was as red as the fire in a panther's eye
it was as red as the rose under the summer sun
like a fire from a killer's gun
Ruby, ruby red
shine a light onto this boy's bed
there's a street lamp glowing in my head
oh, ruby, ruby, ruby red
Well it seems you have a soul
you let it go so i know it's true
it was a ruby, ruby, ruby red
it keeps me warm when i'm feeling sad and blue
well you went and stole my heart
i saw it go so i know it's true
i wrapped it up in a bouquet of barbed wire
it was the wickedest gift i could give to you
It was as red as the sun in the evening sky
it was as red as the fire in a panther's eye
it was as red as the rose under the summer sun
like a fire from a killer's gun
Ruby, ruby red
shine a light onto this boy's bed
there's a street lamp glowing in my head
oh, ruby, ruby, ruby red
Oh just like johnny rio baby
i need to be desired
i give up looking for my past
for the ones i left behind
ruby red, ruby red, hey, hey, hey
Ruby, ruby red
shine a light onto this boy's bed
there's a street lamp glowing in my head
oh, ruby, ruby, ruby red
It was the most precious jewel
i could give to you
colour me red when i'm feeling blue
the colour of a kiss
in a young girl's dream
the mark of a guillotine
a drop of blood from a single thorn
red wet sheets in the afternoon
a red light leading to my tomb
ruby red all around my room
Ruby, ruby red
oh shine a light onto this boy's bed
oh, ruby, ruby, ruby red
