Ottoman |
| Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture |
| Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral |
| Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall |
| To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall |
| Elegant clothes you want to be seen with her |
| Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager |
| Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall |
| To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall |
| Today is for you |
| They laid it out for you, for you |
| There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you |
| But this feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel, too |
| All of the cards and all of the time it took |
| Soon it’s all lines of red in a leather book |
| Begging you to wait for a minute by the door |
| Your creeping feet where they’ve never been before |
| Today is for you |
| They laid it out for you, for you |
| There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you |
| But this feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel, too |
