Just uncovered these lyrics in my bedroom, written by myself and Michael Sykes, which will no doubt feature on the upcoming SmoothGay album...
I think you're pretty swell
Just might mean we'll get on well
But I want to put it to the test
Get these feelings off my chest
So I'll leave a voicemail on the phone
Which doesn't express the love I own
I'll leave a box of chocolates out on the doorstep
I forgot my umbrella so I got pretty wet
So it rained
Like my pain
Just kept coming in floods of shame
I'm Noah without animals
I'm drowning
And I need a towel
You've got me speaking only in vowels
I like the way that you smile
I've been thinking about that for a while
As I construct my visage
Too worthy for any homage
I hope you're ready for what I can give
The heart must beat if we are to live
Like letters sentenced to commit
A lifelong intimacy incarnate
Love sustained
Amour is the name
And it protects me from disdain
I'm James Joyce forced to write sensibly
Digging myself a hole
With a paper trowel
You've got me speaking only in vowels
So I form this literate sponge
Into which all my love I do plunge
Are you ready for my glove?
I flutter with peace next to you like a dove
Because...
We had drunk quite a lot when we wrote that. Lord knows what musical accompaniment it had.
I can't wait for 'SmoothGay - The Greatest Hits'.
ReplyDeleteThe fact you two can write something as good as the above whilst drunk is ridiculous.
(or inevitable?)
