Lyrics
Orion, won't you give me your star sign
Orion, won't you give me your star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on my hill and I feel fine
I'm high on my hill and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heavens' heady wine
Orion, let's sip the heavens' heady wine
Orion, light your lights:
Orion, light your lights:
Come guard the open spaces
Come guard the open spaces
From the black horizon to the pillow where I lie.
From the black horizon to the pillow where I lie.
Your faithful dog shines brighter than its lord and master
Your faithful dog shines brighter than its lord and master
Your jewelled sword twinkles as the world rolls by.
Your jewelled sword twinkles as the world rolls by.
So come up singing above the cloudy cover
So come up singing above the cloudy cover
Stare through at people who toss fitful in their sleep.
Stare through at people who toss fitful in their sleep.
I know you're watching as the old gent by the station
I know you're watching as the old gent by the station
Scuffs his toes on old fag packets lying in the street
Scuffs his toes on old fag packets lying in the street
Orion, won't you give me your star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on my hill and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heavens' heady wine
And silver shadows flick across the closing bistro.
And silver shadows flick across the closing bistro.
Sweet waiters link their arms and patter down the street,
Sweet waiters link their arms and patter down the street,
Their words lost blowing on cold winds in darkest Chelsea.
Their words lost blowing on cold winds in darkest Chelsea.
Prime years fly fading with each young heart's beat.
Prime years fly fading with each young heart's beat.
Orion, won't you make me a star sign
Orion, won't you make me a star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on your love and I feel fine
I'm high on your love and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heavens' heady wine
And young girls shiver as they wait by lonely bus-stops
And young girls shiver as they wait by lonely bus-stops
After sad parties: no-one to take them home
After sad parties: no-one to take them home
To greasy bed-sitters and make a late-night play
To greasy bed-sitters and make a late-night play
For lost virginity a thousand miles away.
For lost virginity a thousand miles away.
Orion, won't you make me a star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on your love and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heavens' heady wine
On the sky-line
On the sky-line
Orion
Orion
