Who Do You Think You Are? |
| The hunted look, the haunted grace |
| The empty laugh that you cultivate |
| You fall into that false embrace |
| And kiss the air about her face |
| Who do you think you are? |
| The très bon mots you almost quote from your |
| Quiver of literary darts |
| A thousand or so tuneless violins |
| Thrilling your cheap little heart |
| Who do you think you are? |
| My cigarette burns right down to the ash |
| My coffee cup is unstained |
| The waiter hovers close at hand |
| His courtesy strained |
| Who do you think you are? |
| I close with my regards |
| Well I’m the red-face gentleman |
| Caught in this picture postcard |
| Who do you think you are? |
| I’m trying my best to make the best of your absence |
| Though the joke gets tired and sordid |
| Sea-shell hearts get trampled under foot |
| Punchlines unrewarded |
| But even at this distance |
| It’s not easy to accept |
| The vision that I chase returns |
| When I least expect it |
| I’ve fallen from your tired embrace |
| I kiss the air |
| Around the place |
| That should be |
| Your face |
