Puritans |
| Please don’t let’s talk about what is and what is not the case |
| If I got tired of you I’d tell you to your face |
| The way you pick your words when you’re describing me |
| It seems you’re far outside my personality |
| I have no cause to be dissatisfied with you |
| So I can’t understand what cure I’m stretching to |
| We once surveyed our prospects, now we reminisce |
| Would I have come if I’d anticipated this? |
| O take these puritans away! |
| Open the window dear I need a breath of air |
| The sky is cloudless and there’s no disorder there |
| Pull on some clothes and we’ll consider what to do |
| To fill the space before we’re back here in this room |
| Away! |
| We’ll walk the districts and we’ll watch the passers-by |
| All these familiar scenes make difference seem a lie |
| If we compose ourselves and try to look our best |
| We might at last provoke each other’s interest |
| When we pass other couples walking on the street |
| Or in a restaurant study faces as we eat |
| We set to wondering in great perplexity |
| The secret they possess that’s barred from you and me |
| O take these puritans away! |
