I Hate the Very Thought of Women Lyrics by Alexander Hanson

Marguerite (Original London Cast Recording)

0

[OTTO]
I hate the very thought of women
They steal your manhood with a smile
I've known them, every sort of woman
I've seen their greed, I know their guile
Somewhere tonight, in some bedroom she lies
Shining with sweat with a boy between her thighs
She fills his mouth with kisses
I hate her for the shame inside me
The secret shame that haunts the night
The dog without a name inside me
The dog that begs and soon may bite
Who am I to this woman? No better nor worse
Than a passing acquaintance who puts cash in her purse
She was all that I wanted, she meant Paris to me
I have always loved Paris, now I hate what I see
I've served the state, I've done my duty
I won't go hungry at this feast
I hunger for her mouth, her beauty
Let beauty come and feed the beast
How I hate all these Frenchmen, whores, wastrels and Jews
How they flaunted their splendour
How they wine, now they lose
Give their spoils to the victor
There's a price of surrender
It is not for the French to resist or refuse
It's come at last, it is the hour
Two nations wedded in their pride
Great Germany, supreme in power
And France in beauty, sided by side
Somewhere tonight she betrays me again
Flat on her back with some boy who's half her age
What can I do but hate her
With half the world in our possession
She still commands me with a glance
Until I'm free of this obsession
I still have not defeated France
