lyrics

You cannot live before you meet someone to love
But how to meet them when I have no life?
For every one a friend to share life to the end
Stuck outside wondering why I’m still spare
Forced into some early morning air
My flatmates are a noisy pair
Whatever troubles you beat with your one love true
I’d ask her why my wit’s not recognised
For every one a friend to share life to the end
What’s the point of reading Baudelaire?
If that fact I’m unable to share?
My folks keep hinting about an heir
I have so much to tell
My interests are spread well
But erudition seems not to be prized
Oh you should see my place
With Rothko prints displayed
I love Vivre sa Vie’s
Cinematography
But even though I’ve tried:
Meek, proud, nice, friends, gay, rude, praise, lies…
For every one a friend to share life to the end
Numbers are swapped but then
When I invite them
To a Jean Genet revue
(Oh yeah, I’ve read him since school)
No reply
