Soho So Long Lyrics & Chords By Marc Almond

So cruel the past
For in my mind
It always lasts too long
Soho so bad
You drove me mad
But everything I loved about you
Almost gone

I worked your clip joints
And your clubs
In a sordid light
I spent half the night
Dancing to your
Cheap sentimental songs
Somehow Soho and I were one

Soho so what
Soho so sad
Soho so gone
Soho so long
I gave you everything I had
Gave you everything I had

We finished on the day
The Coffe Pot
Became the Sandwich Scene
The old Piano Bar
I still sing there in my dreams
Hold me in your weathered arms
Now your exotic charms have gone
So long the red light life
Bring on the dancing girls
Kick out the chorus boys

Soho so what
Soho so sad
Soho so gone
Soho so long
All the good times that we had
All the good times that we had

Soho so long
I gave you everytihng I had

Is the Colony still there?
The Golden Girl has gone elsewhere
Rital's piano bar
New Piccadilly Eats
The Old Casino Archer Street
The Green Carnation's where we'll meet
And maybe there we'll fall in love
But until then this song I'll sing
To Paul Raymond the Soho King
Soon all the cities'll be as one
No use crying when they're gone

Soho so long
Soho so what
Soho so sad
Soho so gone
Soho farewell
Soho goodbye
Soho so long
Soho so long
