State Secrets - A Thriller

Lyrics
Got myself a secret in a briefcase

Desperation rendezvous and don't be late

Mata Hari maiden milky silky stocking

Freezen' war lolly going iron curtain shopping

Civil service sandwiches and there's no bar

I'd much prefer an ounce or two of caviare

There's a plane just leaving it's gonna take me there

Something tells me that Moscow's hip this time of year

State secrets straight from my heart

Aaah they make you shiver

State secrets straight from my heart

Aaah C'mon deliver

Take myself a long awaited holiday

One with all advantages of extra pay

Make a Kremlin cutie for to be my comrade

And if the streets are paved with roubles then I'll stay

State secrets straight from my heart

Aaah they make you shiver

State secrets straight from my heart

Aaah C'mon deliver

He's not the type of guy that you'd recognise

There's nothing to suggest that he's a prize winner

His only claim to fame is a plaque above his bed says

He's a good boy

He's not the sort of man you could easily like

You can't exactly say that he's a nice guy

His only one delight is to see her late at night before the

Curtains are drawn

Oooh heavy breathing he's out of control

Oooh heavy breathing he'd sell you his soul

Oooh heavy breathing he's out of control

Oooh heavy breathing he'd sell you his soul

You'll find him in the waiting room just wasting time

Fumbling in his pockets for some loose change

His shoes are even older than the chip upon his shoulder

You'll find him easily bribed

He really feels that detante is a dirty word

He'd gladly throw a spanner in the skoda

You've got to catch this guy before he reaches

Chou En Lai

That's him succinctly described

Oooh heavy breathing he's out of control

Oooh heavy breathing he'd sell you his soul

Can I interest you in a lychee nut

Through your decadent yearning

They say Rome is still burning

There's a perfect view when your eyes are shut

Please ignore the warnings there's no against yawning

When your rice wined eyes meet the rising sun

You'll forget you're in prison as the paddy fields glisten

Spring in Peking where the wind meets the sea

Just follow me to the land of the free

Spring in Peking

Aaah

Now your free to move anyplace you want

But if ever we lost you there's a bug in your nostril

We've a lot to lose if we found you gone

Consider what it would cost you if the other side got you

Here's your home from home called the gilded cage

All at peace and contented these are words we invented

Spring in Peking where the wind meets the sea

Just follow me to the land of the free

Spring in Peking

Aaah
