Differences from the 79 soundtrack, for those interested: 0:00 HIS TEACHER has an additional verse in the beginning, as well as the other verse having mostly different lyrics. "Write his name Write ten more below that How was I to know that they admired My brain Send them naughty letters perfume, stationary, very pink But honest lie Kiss the man goodbye Drink another drink Or die Count your prayers Mama hand me the gin Daddy died and left you more than you Could spend How was I to know that they're all gigolos appropriately Underbred How the Earth due clings Think of pretty things Instead" (Album version:) "Hide my face Change my place of worship Call me a disgrace and then be done With blame How was I to know that they're all gigolos appropriately Underbred? When the passion stings Think of pretty things Instead" 2:40 the verse where HIS WIFE joins in also has mostly different lyrics: "Do not speak When spoken to The world will disappear and with it All my sins I must sue [...] Now what's left to fear Begins" (Album version:) "Marry money Money wins The past will disappear and with it All your sins Joy once seemed so near Now what's left to fear Begins"

"Write his name
Write ten more below that
How was I to know that they admired
My brain
Send them naughty letters
perfume, stationary, very pink
But honest lie
Kiss the man goodbye
Drink another drink
Or die
Count your prayers
Mama hand me the gin
Daddy died and left you more than you
Could spend
How was I to know that they're all gigolos appropriately
Underbred
How the Earth due clings
Think of pretty things
Instead"
(Album version:)
"Hide my face
Change my place of worship
Call me a disgrace and then be done
With blame
How was I to know that they're all gigolos appropriately
Underbred?
When the passion stings
Think of pretty things
Instead"
2:40 the verse where HIS WIFE joins in also has mostly different lyrics:
"Do not speak
When spoken to
The world will disappear and with it
All my sins
I must sue [...]
Now what's left to fear
Begins"
(Album version:)
"Marry money
Money wins
The past will disappear and with it
All your sins
Joy once seemed so near
Now what's left to fear
Begins"
What I hear: Write *ten more? Them all?* below that
Naughty letters, *perfume*, stationary […]
… all my sins
*I’m a souvenir*
yes I think you’re right! I’m now realising the words after stationary is likely “very pink”, too. I will update my lyrics!
thank you for your help!
