lyrics

The Collector - Steve Merlin 1993/2003/2008

The sun shines on the back of my head, I’ve landed in the park
And the grass and the sky and the girls are fine
And they’re green and they’re blond and they’re mine

Ooh, how I cherish them all, take them into my heart
Everywhere I’ll go I’ll take them

And I’m looking around and they’re all looking back
Looking with the back of their heads
And I wave at the grass and the sky and the trees
And everyone thinks I’m mad

Ooh, how I cherish them all, take them into my heart
Everywhere I’ll go I’ll take them

I really am a collector
I’ll drag your heart around
My room is made of feathers
To choke you silently
I really am a collector
I’ll pin you down my dear
You can keep your beautiful body
Inside this coldness here

The sun shines on the back of my head, I’ve landed in the park
And the grass and the sky and the girls are fine
And they’re green and they’re blond and they’re mine

In my house and my room, you won’t go very far
On my way to the park I am, on my way to the park I am
I’m a collector...
