And maybe you're the Line girl trying so not to let on you know I'm at the way your toes poke out through your sandals at funny to your feet and how you it turns me on
Or maybe you're the Spanish playing with your as you wait for your friend in that wild octagon of the Tate calls a coffee shop And I can smell that hair from and I can see from eight angles the way your nipples look through that thin cotton top to infinity And oh God, it's places like that and purple-tipped prose like that's going to hemorrhage me,
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm only doing it to be to you
Or maybe you're the bay girl in Wandsworth Town, in ripped jeans and open painting the difficult corner of an room white under a naked across the bar at the top of your stepladder at the precise moment I'm passing on the street at the bottom of your garden in the gathering delight
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm only it to be closer to you
Or maybe you're the foundation at the Central School, so fine-boned I carry you home in your portfolio case laced up gently so you cry out on the bus and the game away up lightly, because girl how could I injure someone with perfect lips and wrists, your exquisite structure Oh, little acrylic painter, I can eggshells, I can be ginger all the say I'm such a sensitive singer
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm only it to be closer to you
And maybe you're listening to my now on your Walkman or bedsit Dansette letting my songs slip into you on quiet night in with your pads of doodles and your fingers full of and low tar And the light and pleasant so you hardly notice I'm singing about in "Paper Wraps Rock" And "Murderers, the of Women," my voice is just a sound pleases you that you and leaves you just the same and that's how I want it to stay, because, you
Ooo, it's Girl, I'm only doing it to be to you
But some of those bitter records which accuse women, girls like you of using attractiveness wantonly and willfully to and to paralyze men who wanted you and could never you men who sometimes felt the urge to the women they desired the most men who imagined they all those immaculate visions what adolescent crap, what kind of would sing that? Oh, not me because, you
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm doing it to be closer to you
But sometimes I that every man who writes man who paints or composes, deep soul or symphonies it no difference, all those men are only making do with substitutes: Solomon, Confucius, Kafka never have done it if they'd been as beautiful as you sitting there with gentle music lapping around a promise, there your thighs meet of fertility a million artists couldn't compete
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm only it to be closer to you
And all the time I see you in the eye of my mind, and all cheap macho stuff about de Sade and misogyny vanishes thin air and I'm moved to tears just any other sucker been bruised by all the things that weren't to be and yet who's ready to fall down on his in front of a woman, and "Whatever you may do, you may be to me the times we disagree, your ridiculous ambitions your conventional I want you to that I respect you I accept you and I want you to me I want to you, kiss your stockinged knee accept the soft flesh on the of your hips,"
Ooo, true: Girl, I'm only it to be closer to you
And I've won you when fallen down in front of you, and said: "Damn Franz Kafka, damn the White Duke (damn the White Duke) it's you and you alone I'm this for," When I'm through heroes and pastiche (throwing in lovers' eyes) when you've let me make to you the slowest, deepest way that I how (when you do for me, baby) and it so good (bear with me) that's when I'll think of Paul epitaph: "Here lies the painter Paul somewhat closer than usual to the heart of but far close enough,"
And girl, I lie far from enough to you...
