And maybe you're the Circle Line girl[00:00:26]
Trying so hard not to let on you know[00:00:30]
I'm looking at the way your toes poke out through your sandals[00:00:33]
At funny angles to your feet[00:00:37]
And how you know it turns me on[00:00:40]
Or maybe you're the Spanish girl[00:00:45]
Playing with your hair as you wait for your friend[00:00:47]
In that wild octagon of mirrors the Tate calls a coffee shop[00:00:50]
And I can smell that hair from here[00:00:55]
And I can see from eight different angles[00:00:58]
The way your nipples look through that thin black cotton top[00:01:01]
Reflected to infinity[00:01:05]
And oh God it's places like that and purple tipped prose like this[00:01:08]
That's going to hemorrhage me girl[00:01:14]
Ooo it's true:[00:01:18]
Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you[00:01:22]
Or maybe you're the bay window girl[00:01:30]
In Wandsworth Town in ripped jeans and open Venetians[00:01:32]
Painting the difficult corner of an empty room[00:01:39]
White under a naked bulb[00:01:42]
Leaning across the bar at the top of your stepladder[00:01:45]
At the precise moment I'm passing on the steep street[00:01:47]
At the bottom of your garden in the gathering night[00:01:51]
Voyeur's delight[00:01:56]
Ooo it's true:[00:02:03]
Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you[00:02:07]
Or maybe you're the foundation painter[00:02:13]
At the Central School looking so fine boned[00:02:15]
I could carry you home in your portfolio case[00:02:18]
Laced up gently so you won't cry out on the bus[00:02:21]
And give the game away[00:02:24]
Tied up lightly because girl[00:02:26]
How could I knowingly injure someone[00:02:27]
With your perfect lips and wrists your exquisite structure[00:02:29]
Oh little acrylic painter I can kiss eggshells I can be ginger[00:02:35]
All the critics say I'm such a sensitive singer[00:02:42]
Ooo it's true:[00:02:54]
Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you[00:02:57]
And maybe you're listening to my voice now[00:03:04]
On your Walkman or your bedsit Dansette[00:03:06]
Letting my songs slip into you on this quiet night[00:03:08]
In with your pads of doodles and your fingers full of pencils[00:03:12]
And low tar cigarettes[00:03:15]
And the music's light and pleasant so you hardly notice[00:03:17]
What I'm singing about in Paper Wraps Rock[00:03:20]
And Murderers the Hope of Women[00:03:23]
My voice is just a sound that pleases you[00:03:25]
That enters you and leaves you just the same[00:03:27]
And that's how I want it to stay because you know[00:03:31]
Ooo it's true:[00:03:38]
Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you[00:03:42]
But some of those were bitter records[00:03:49]
Records which accuse women girls like you[00:03:51]
Of using your attractiveness wantonly and willfully[00:03:53]
To trap and to paralyze men[00:03:56]
Who wanted you and could never have you[00:03:58]
Men who sometimes felt the perverse urge[00:04:00]
To trash the women they desired the most[00:04:02]
Men who imagined they despised all those immaculate visions[00:04:05]
What adolescent crap what kind of idiot would sing that[00:04:08]
Oh not me because you know[00:04:14]
Ooo it's true:[00:04:16]
Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you[00:04:20]
But sometimes I think that every man who writes[00:04:26]
Every man who paints or composes deep soul or symphonies[00:04:29]
It makes no difference all those men are only making do with substitutes:[00:04:32]
Solomon Confucius Franz Kafka[00:04:37]
They'd never have done it if they'd been as beautiful as you[00:04:40]
Sitting cross legged there with gentle music[00:04:43]
Lapping around a promise there where your thighs meet[00:04:45]
Of fertility a million artists couldn't compete with[00:04:48]
Ooo it's true:[00:04:54]
Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you[00:04:58]
And all the time I see you there[00:05:04]
In the eye of my mind and all that cheap macho stuff[00:05:06]
About de Sade and misogyny vanishes into thin air[00:05:09]
And I'm moved to tears just like any other sucker[00:05:13]
Who's been bruised by all the things that weren't to be[00:05:15]
And yet who's ready to fall down on his knees[00:05:17]
In front of a woman and say:[00:05:20]
Whatever you may do whatever you may be to me[00:05:21]
Despite the times we disagree your ridiculous ambitions[00:05:25]
Your conventional inhibitions[00:05:28]
I want you to know that I respect you[00:05:30]
I accept you and I want you to accept me[00:05:32]
I want to kiss you kiss your stockinged knee[00:05:35]
Accept the uniquely soft flesh[00:05:40]
On the undersides of your hips[00:05:42]
Ooo it's true:[00:05:43]
Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you[00:05:48]
And when I've won you[00:05:56]
When I've fallen down in front of you and said:[00:05:57]
D**n Franz Kafka d**n the Thin White Duke[00:05:59]
D**n the Thin White Duke[00:06:02]
It's you and you alone I'm doing this for[00:06:05]
When I'm through with heroes and pastiche[00:06:08]
Throwing darts in lovers' eyes[00:06:10]
When you've let me make love to you[00:06:14]
The slowest deepest way that I know how[00:06:15]
When you do that for me baby[00:06:18]
And it feels so good[00:06:21]
Bear with me[00:06:23]
That's when I'll think of Paul Klee's epitaph:[00:06:31]
Here lies the painter Paul Klee[00:06:37]
Somewhat closer than usual to the heart of creation[00:06:44]
But far from close enough[00:06:50]
And girl here I lie[00:06:54]
Far from close enough to you[00:06:59]
