Blue Oyster Cult - "Sally," an outtake from the great Agents Of Fortune album. A rather depraved tale about - of course - a cheating woman: Oh, no, I can't believe it, Sally (ooh, Sally, ooh, Sally) Oh, I, must accuse you, Sally (ooh, Sally, ooh, Sally) There's scratches on your knees--where you been all morning? I think you been down, down to the briar patch, baby And maybe someone was with you There's brambles in your hair, you've been rolling in the roses There's a thorn caught in your shoulder Oh, I think, the morning sun was rising, Venus was clear And you are messing with the goddess of love Come on now, over here--let me take a look at you Just look at you You got bruises everywhere You got brambles in your hair You got scratches on your knees Oh, it's easy to see You been messing around Sally And you ain't been messing with me Well, I know now Somebody with my girl Torn pants, torn pants And juice all down your dress You been ripping it up with somebody You better confess, confess Confess, confess You better confess
Al Stewart's got a few excellent ones: The Ballad Of Mary Foster Anna Carol Almost Lucy Pandora Delia's Gone Princess Olivia Lori, Don't Go Right Now Josephine Baker Helen & Cassandra Charlotte Corday Betty Boop's Birthday Marion The Chatelaine Waiting For Margaux Millie Brown Katharine Of Oregon Mona Lisa Talking Gina In The King's Road May well have missed a few. Feel free to chip in. Regardless, that's a compilation I'd be happy to purchase.
