Stockley Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was burning like a silver flame
A symbol of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
She's got it
Yeah baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus
Your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night they were
Got what no one else had
She's got it
Yeah baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
Your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
Your desire
She's got it
Yeah baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
Your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
Your desire

I remember this from when I was in South Africa in 1977. Miriam Stockley went on to be a backing singer for a lot or big acts, including Britain's last Eurovision win in 1997. Also Adiemus and very good solo albums. And remember this? https://youtu.be/yGVNRMUB0l8
