Marianne Faithfull Late Victorian Holocaust Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up the Golborne Road with star-light in our blood
Over the bridge and along the canal
It was a late Victorian holocaust, pal
We were star-babies in the dark
Throwing up in Meanwhile Park
Then sleeping in each others arms
Beyond happy we were, beyond harm

[Chorus]
Sweet Little Sleep
My dreams are yours to keep
[Verse 2]
Past the school with moon-fire in our hearts
Past The Cow
It was a late Victorian holocaust, but wow
We were star-babies as the day begun
Up the stairs and at a run
Then sleeping in each others arms
Happy we were and beyond harm

[Chorus] Sweet Little Sleep
My dreams are yours to keep

[Verse 3]
Down the Golborne Road with sunshine in our spines
Year after year
It was a late Victorian holocaust, dear
We were star-babies for a time
Lying down in Meanwhile Park
Sleeping in each others arms
Then up again and off we'd blow
Back down the Golborne Road we'd go

[Bridge]
But nobody will ever wake again
And never will we rise
And never will we go
Along the canal and up the Golborne Road
[Chorus]
Sweet Little Sleep
My dreams are yours to keep
Sweet Little Sleep
My dreams are yours to keep
