Cavendish Square, take one

I know your nostrils were young
Down in Cavendish Square

And through each perfect round hole
You inhaled the air

The bed was close to the door
The door was close to the phone

And when it finally rang
You were picking a bone

You had just painted your nails
Life never fails to surprise you
Look in your eyes
You're gone

I know your memory strays
Back to Cavendish Square

Those were halcyon days
And you had halcyon hair

And when the jasmine's in bloom
And there's a wind from the east

You smelt that musky perfume
And the breath of the beast

You had just powdered your nose
Life never goes where you wandered

Baby, it's good
But it's gone
Baby, it's good

Taking you round
Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha
Taking you round
Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha

I know your nostrils were young
Down in Cavendish Square
