Shakespear's Sister - The Trouble With Andre Lyrics






Some people say he has a deathwish
Trouble is he tends to agree
Let's not ask too many questions
It's nothing to do with you or me

He remembers a time when even going home was sweet
Now he can't feel the ground under his feet

And she said
"The trouble with Andre
Is he thinks he hides everything"
But I know the trouble with Andre
Is he's a liar

Inside the dresser by the table
Something he keeps beside the bed
Living with Andre can't be easy
Some things are better left unsaid

He remembers a time before the waters got so deep
When he found it easier to sleep

And she said
"The trouble with Andre
Is he thinks he hides everything"
But I know the trouble with Andre
I he's a liar

And you know
The trouble with Andre
Is he thinks he fools everyone
But I know the trouble with Andre
Is his disguise

Shakespear's Sister The Trouble With Andre Comments
  1. J.... M....

    wow this was almost 30 years ago. Is the Queen this is about still living?

  2. Z.... P....

    Absolutely marvellous!!!

  3. C.... H....

    Very cool duo...love this and Hello as well as Stay and Your History..I don't care

  4. Z.... P....

    Work of Art !!!!

  5. S.... ....

    Love to know who Andre was....

    S.... ....

    I think Andre is universally any gay man. They have tons of gay fans, and I am sure their straight fans probably have gay friends. They seem to have really cool fans.

  6. R.... ....

    Hauntingly beautiful, this song delicately touches the hidden pain we bear

  7. m.... ....

    I always thought they sang "The trouble with Andre is he's alive"...... :-D

    m.... ....

    Ha ha, I like it.

  8. a.... ....

    It's such a shame there's no Sophie Muller's video for this track...

    a.... ....

    Agreed! They should have done a video album for the whole Hormonally Yours album, really, with Sophie.

  9. A.... W....

    What WAS that something he keeps beside the bed? Was it drugs or a gun? Just trying to figure it out.

    A.... W....

    I always assumed it was a gun.

    A.... W....

    needle he's a junkie english perspective

    A.... W....

    I was told by s friend close to them that the song was about a closeted crossdresser...

    A.... W....

    I had all those thoughts. Such a great song. Thought provoking. I want to know the story behind Andre. :-)

  10. M.... 3....

    This needed a music video.

    M.... 3....

    Would have made a really nice picture story.

    M.... 3....

    First thing it comes to my mind is a castle. Maybe this song required a bigger production for a video. But man Hello just kill it.

  11. n.... ....

    If Marcella had have been on the album 3, which is brilliant, it would have been out of this world IMO

  12. p.... m....

    reminds me of a time when I was pissed always

    p.... m....

    Wow you look too good looking to always be pissed(do you mean The American or English meaning of pissed?)

  13. a.... h....

    I like.....but.......need you!

  14. a.... h....

    I like it^^

  15. B.... T....

    this takes me back.

  16. R.... J....

    The base in this track is wonderful! I can really feel the emotion in the playing. I come back to this song time and time again. brilliant! :-)

  17. g.... s....

    He thinks he fools everyone ...

    g.... s....

    Is he a closet case? I assume it is just about their messed up gay mate who is a drama queen.

  18. c.... ....

    It reminds me my 14 ! I loved this period and this song is awesome (Black Sky on the same album is a great one two)

  19. p.... ....

    Not heard this for years.

  20. R.... J....

    Great sound, great song writing. The lyrics seem to illuminate various darker sides found within us all. regardless of the depths we sink to, through making right choices we can always make it back to the surface and back into the light.

    R.... J....

    Rev. Johnny David but what if we don't want to make it back to the light......

    R.... J....

    Sapphire Blue it's warm and comfortable in the Light. I guess it's a matter of higher and lower frequency. There are choices that take us higher, and there are choices that take us lower. It's easy to get confused by our desires but desire causes suffering (at some point in our lives and on some level). The funny thing is when we first feel the energy of the Light we "desire" it, like the things that are of the material plane and we "want" more and more of it, and that's okay, but ultimately the Light takes away our desire and what's left is internal peace, strong purpose, and destiny. Have a great day wherever you are and thanks for replying. (I hope this message doesn't sound preachy, that wasn't my intention, just speaking from personal experience and from the heart). All the very best. Johnny :-)

    R.... J....

    Rev. Johnny David I appreciate it Johnny, but the water feels fine in the dark side, I like th way it feels.....

  21. B.... J....

    Too bad the two split up.

  22. R.... ....
