| «On brick land, above the frying pan public house, I removed my boots to make
|
| love.
|
| As the coins from my pocket hit the untreated wooden floorboards,
|
| a large number of roaches scurried from beneath the single mattress,
|
| the only piece of furniture in an otherwise empty room.
|
| With her back to me, almost embarrassed, she placed the coins into a once white,
|
| greasy handkerchief. |
| She turned round; |
| I could smell gin, as she rested her
|
| head on my shoulder. |
| She put her lips to my ear, and then she whispered:»
|
| Lay your love on me Lay your love on me
|
| I was blind but now I see
|
| So come lay your love on me
|
| I’d walk through sand in summer time, wade through snow in winter time,
|
| just for you now.
|
| Lay your love on me Lay your love on me
|
| I was blind but now I see
|
| So come lay your love on me Like a mattress without fleas, or a trick without the fees
|
| Oh come lay your love on me Oh yes lay your love on me
|
| I’d walk through sand in summer time, wade through snow in winter time,
|
| one day I know you’ll be mine.
|
| I’d walk through sand in summer time, wade through snow in winter time,
|
| in this town there’s too much crime.
|
| Lay your love on me Lay your love on me
|
| I was blind now I can see
|
| So come lay your love on me Making love above the pub, making love, making love x10 |
