lyrics
Ten years can disappear
And leave you there alone with the beer
The fat on my belly’s still there
And all the lies
That built me up
They seem so far-fetched now
At last
The back was strong and straight
I waited by her parents’ tall gate
All memories coloured so bright
But it’s been a while
Yes, quite a while
That day was a long, long time
Ago
I grow my basil still
in tin cans on my window sill
It will grow in its splendor until
I devour it,
it’s what I do
Devouring’s all I do
these days
Falafel in the rain
I’m careful but my coat gets some stains
These nights make it all seem so clear
That it’s up to me
Well, it’s got to be
Who else can make me free
From her
