Charlotte Anne is the lead single from Julian Cope’s album My Nation Underground.
The song peaked at #35 on the U.K. Singles chart and topped Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart for a week in January of 1989.
And in my room
I'm alone in my room
And maybe staying here for just awhile
And in my casket
I'm alone in my gloom
And maybe staying here for awhile
Oh, can't you see light is only in your eyes?
Would I be guilty?
Oh, would I be?
The sound you bring is an antiquated thing
So please don't look to me for guidance
Charlotte Anne
I do understand
Charlotte Anne
I do understand
Charlotte Anne
I do understand
My splendid art
Oh, my sad profession
Now stick with me and I'll betray you
For should I lose my bad depression
My splendid art
I will betray you
Charlotte Anne
I do understand
Charlotte Anne
I do understand
Charlotte Anne
I do understand
Haul me out of the water
Haul me onto the land
Beneath the sky
There is an open fire
I do understand
Charlotte Anne
I do understand
Charlotte Anne
I do understand
Charlotte Anne
I do understand
Julian Cope released Charlotte Anne on Mon Sep 19 1988.
