Matador Songtext / Lyric

Matador
(Garland Jeffreys)

Take me to the Matador, he will know just what it's for
He will help me with my life, he will open every door
When the bull is in the ring you need all the help you can
And the Mariachis sing with the lonely mandolin
See those people shout out loud, give me more and give me more
And I'm thinkin' to myself, take me to the Matador

Take me to the Matador, he will fill and ease my soul
He will give me confidence when I think I've lost control
He will help me with my muse in the age of win and lose
With the ancient cup and swords and a hundred Spanish lords
See one thousand violins, golden trumpets soar on high
Waves and waves of joyful hymns, silver sonnets reach the sky
Fight the battles and the blues, wars of love and wars of art
Tonight the cape is what I choose, Goya's in my Spanish heart

He will help me with my love, dance the dance that lovers do
Rumba with the velvet glove 'neath the Barcelona moon
See one thousand violins, golden trumpets soar on high
Waves and waves of joyful hymns, silver sonnets reach the sky

Take me to the Matador, take me to the Matador ....
