Icehouse - Miss Divine Lyrics






Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine

Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine

You were always the one who would dance
On a sheet of thin ice
Always one step ahead
Always holding the winning ace
Thinking no-one could reach you
Way up in the sky,
You just looked out of place

You were playing the part
In the perfect disguise
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
You were planning the crime
For the ultimate prize
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
When you spoke like a poet
You were reading the lines
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
I believed every word
Of a pack of lies
I was spellbound by Miss Divine

You were always the one
Who would lead in the big town parade
With the jokers and clowns
As they followed your masquerade
Thinking no-one could reach you
Way up on the wire,
You just made one mistake

You were fixing your gaze
On a new sacrifice
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
And you looked so detached
As you twisted the knife
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
And you questioned your conscience
By throwing the dice
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
And you gave it away
And you never thought twice
And I was spellbound by Miss Divine
And you gave it away
You gave it away
You gave it away
You gave it away
You gave it away

You were playing the part
In the perfect disguise
You were planning the crime
For the ultimate prize
When you spoke like a poet
You were reading the lines
And I believed every word
Of a pack of lies
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine

You were fixing your gaze
On a new sacrifice
And you looked so detached
As you twisted the knife
And you questioned your conscience
By throwing the dice
You gave it away
Yeah, you gave it away
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine

I was tongue-tied, tantalized, mystified
I was so surprised
I was compromised
And you know you gave it away
And you know you gave it away
And you know you gave it away
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I was spellbound by Miss Divine

    Love this song. Iva Davis is amazing. And I absolutely love Simon Lloyd. I wonder what he's been up to lately, I can't find out anything about him biography wise. Anyone know?

  16. d.... h....

    This song is about my wife! She to me is Miss Divine. Though I worry about her upbringing sometimes! She thought Shirley Strachan was a woman! and she took more than 10 seconds to realise who Moonface was. I almost asked for a divorce!

    d.... h....

    Did you ask her about Alice Cooper and Marilyn?

  17. j.... m....

    every time they came to Newcastle to play in concert, we were there.

  18. D.... V....

    Another wonderment of Aussie music...great music

  24. A.... ....

    "Nah nah nah nah nah" - awesome backing vocals courtesy of the wonderful Wendy Matthews.

    ice-house had 2 female persons doing backing vocals when they recorded the Code Blue album the other is Mary Azzopardi it could be her not Wendy Matthews

    A.... ....

    Jason Lee Yes you may be right.

    One of my favourite songs from Icehouse.

  26. F.... C....

    A song written about Tilly.

  30. R.... G....

    So proud to be an Aussie, and blessed I was a teen when Icehouse were on top and Iva was music royalty!

  31. N.... T....

    Is this song about notorious Madame Tilly Devine?

    N.... T....

    think so..

    N.... T....

    +jadie nellie yes song is about Matilda "Tilly" Mary Devine (née Twiss) (8 September 1900 – 24 November 1970) a former crime boss in Sydney Australia. She was involved in a wide range of activities, including sly-grog and razor gangs, and prostitution.

  32. M.... ....

    and the early 90's mullet in all it's glory ...........

    M.... ....

    Um, that's past the mullet days. lol

  33. K.... A....

    hey yeah! hey yeah! i was spellbound by Mr Iva Davies Devine!! 😍

    K.... A....

    Oh Yes me Too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    K.... A....

    Me too. Very sexy, handsome gentleman.

  34. T.... ....

    He seems to be developing a huge throat. John Farnham style.

    T.... ....

    Maybe they sucked a lot of dick ha ha

  35. T.... ....

    It's a great little pop tune no doubt. Iva's personal appearance is a little alarming to say the least but that's not unusual in this business.

  36. G.... W....

    not a typical Icehouse this one, strongly inspired by The Waterboys, i guess.

    G.... W....

    +Piotr z Obu Tka The Waterboys, yes maybe you are right there. The chorus has a Waterboys touch to it.

    G.... W....

    The Whole of the Moon!

  37. A.... J....

    Spellbound by Iva <3

  38. R.... ....

    Davies channelling The Waterboys, I reckon, particularly with the brass instruments and Iva's singing style.
