Cover art for Salome lyrics by Peter Doherty

Nothing more to add about this song's meaning, but the lyrics aren't complete nor exact. Here are what I believe is slightly better. Please bare with my English.

-- Lyrics:

In the cold, the coldest of nights The fire I light, to warm my bones I've had enough, of the dreadful cold And from the flames, appears Salome

I stand before her amazed As she dances and demands The head of John the Baptist on a plate

In the morning, shaken and disturbed From under soft white fur I see the dust in the morning bright sets the room alive And by the telly appears Salome

I stand before her amazed As she dances and demands The head of Isadora Duncan on a plate Oh, it's Salome Oh, it's Salome

In the cold, the coldest of nights The fire I light, to warm my bones I've had enough, of the dreadful cold And from the flames, appears Salome

I stand before her amazed As she dances and demands The head of any bastard on a plate

-- Corrections:

Added "the" before coldest, first line

Changed "Oh love, had enough of ..." to "I've had enough". It's believe it's what P. Doherty says

John the Baptist is a proper name, needs capital letters

Changed Isidora Duncan to Isadora Duncan, her actual name

Added the third and last verse
