Tragedy and Farce |
I longed for her when I was just 18 |
She was so pure to me I couldn’t even picture her nude |
And when she told me she didn’t want to be my lover |
I cried for hours up on Carlton Hill |
While the sun set behind the unfinished monument |
(Tragedy and farce) |
Ten years later at my sister’s wedding |
Drunk on champagne in an upstairs room |
She let me take off her all her clothes |
I’d had to wait so long for that first embrace |
From that miserable day in '78 |
The first dry kiss |
To this! |
She invited me back to her empty place |
Where the irony hit me like a slap in the face |
(Tragedy and farce) |
Either I was too big or she was too small |
But there was no way on earth we would ever ball |
Not even Vaseline and a lot of mutual pain |
Could put Humpty Dumpty together again |
Like a square peg forced into a round hole |
This into that just wouldn’t go |
Though of course |
We could still kiss |
History plays the first time as tragedy, the second as farce |
