Original theme & lyrics: Steve Harley

Originally performed by: Steve Harley



verse one:

Radiate simply, the candle is burning

so low for me

Generate me limply, can't seem to place

your name, cheri.

To rearrange all these thoughts

in a moment is suicide

Come to a strange place, we'll talk over

old times we never spied.



chorus:

Somebody called me Sebastian

Somebody called me Sebastian

Work out a rhyme, toss me the time, lay me,

you're mine

And we all know, oh yeah!



verse two:

You're not gonna run, babe,

we only just begun, babe, to compromise

Slagged in a Bowery saloon,

love's a story we'll serialise.

Pale angel face; green eye-shadow,

the glitter is out of sight

No courtesan could begin to decipher

your beam of light.



chorus:

Somebody called me Sebastian

Somebody called me Sebastian

Dance on my heart, laugh, swoop and dart,

la-di-di-da, oh yeah
