I'm all alone this is a holiday |
|
Some bloody holiday, |
|
My friends have gone away |
|
They're of the temporary sort I think |
|
I will be better without, |
|
As long as you let me out |
|
To taste the air beside the river |
|
I pick the soundtrack |
|
With immaculate care |
|
Such a lot rests on it |
|
My life upon a song |
|
You don't know how much I need... |
|
Musician, please take heed |
|
I thought I might just write a letter |
|
Anything to stay away |
|
From books and lessons today |
|
Besides, it's part of my induction |
|
Into the literate world |
|
I am a literate girl |
|
I string the words together softly |
|
I lay my love upon you with each line |
|
A gift of improvising |
|
Removes me from revising |
|
I made a daisy chain from |
|
Phrase, verse and punctuation |
|
I'll kick this mood off |
|
With a change of scene |
|
I buy a leotard and go to the gym |
|
I couldn't get away with |
|
Wearing it last summer |
|
But I've lost a lot of weight |
|
I think it's down to |
|
Leaving meat out of my diet as a rule |
|
I won't buy it 'cause it's cruel |
|
And if the night time |
|
Threatens me with pain |
|
I will give into lust, |
|
I will do what I must |
|
I've got a number of a girl I know |
|
Who gets hallucinogens |
|
From a pair of hooligans |
|
I'll take a dose; I don't mind trying |
|
She lets me stay there |
|
While I leave the ground |
|
Old episodes of Minder, |
|
I snuggle up beside her |
|
Think that I'll stay till morning, |
|
She's got me started yawning |
