I wrote her name on a bar mat |
She had a peculiar bonnet |
But a youngish damsel figure |
With her tongue tied to a trigger |
She seemed a total killer |
Her face all filled with filler |
Her face a painting palette |
I stomached all her habits |
Sipped her snow balls poshly like a judge |
But left her lipstick traces on her mug |
We watched each other closely |
She looks like Bela Lugosi |
She asked me for a ride home |
I felt around for my comb |
And in the bar room mirror |
I combed right through her figure |
She wiggled through the car park |
Into the pit of my heart |
Sat herself beside me in my van |
A ring on every finger of her hand |
She lived down by the river |
A flat the council give her |
Wallpaper very scenic |
Her outlook very beatnik |
We watched the close and weather |
Then through the door he entered |
Short sleeves and arms of iron |
And me with just my tie on |
She said the lodger’s used to this by now |
I’d handled all the bull but not the cow |
Behind her velvet sofa |
I found myself back sober |
She kept an old acoustic |
She never ever used it |
A gift for me with a capo |
A six string with an f-hole |
We made the strangest couple |
A Laurel and Hardy double |
I learnt to play her favourite country songs |
With one or two chords always going wrong |
