Tart |
Hear silver trumpets will trill in Arabic streets of Seville |
Oranges roll in the gutter |
And you pick them up |
And peel back the skin |
To the red fruit within |
But the flavour is… |
Tart |
And the flavour is… |
Tart |
Is it something you crave? |
And you say that you only feel bitterness |
When you know it’s a lie, lie, lie… |
Wild with a blackberry bush |
There were blossoms of cherries to crush |
There, at the edge of the asphalt tempting fingertips |
They stain your hand, press too hard |
They’ll colour your lips… |
But the flavour is… |
Tart |
And the flavour is… |
Tart |
Is it something you crave? |
'Cos you say that you only feel bitterness |
Would it kill you to show us a little sweetness? |
Odd, where nothing else grows |
It was something like love that she chose |
Always a creature of habit |
When pity would do |
She wore down that heel with no feeling |
She kept on her shoes |
Nylon was hung from a peg |
And a kohl black seam ran down her leg |
Fishermen look for their nets |
And send their regrets |
The bug lay there broken |
She spoke, «Is this some kind of joke?» |
But the flavour is… |
