Isobel Goudie Lyrics

Part 1: My Lady Of The Night

Isobel Goudie feels so good
She does not do the things that she should
She was going to the fair
Isobel Goudie
She met a stranger there


CHORUS
Isobel Goudie
Isobel Goudie
Isobel Goudie
She does not do the things she should

Selling time with no remission
A scaly member with a cold emission
She raised her eyes up to the sky
She crossed her heart and she hoped to die

CHORUS

She is my lady of the night
She is my lady of the night
She is my lady of the night
She does not do the things
She does not do the things
She does not do the things she should
She is my lady of the night
She is my lady of the night
She is my lady of the night
My lady of the night
Part 2: Coitus Interruptus

Belladonna, holy water
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Coitus interruptus
Fire to fire and blood to blood

Part 3: Virgin And The Hunter

And the virgin, and the hunter
They laid together in the night


CHORUS

Isobel, Isobel
