parp! parp!<\/p>\n

\nI will confess to you
\nBecause you made me think about the times
\nYou turn the picture on to me and I’ll turn over
\nThe vision was a masterpiece of comic timing
\nBut you wouldn’t laugh at all
\nAnd I wonder what the boy was thinking
\nThe picture was an old collage of something classical
\nThe model with a tragic air
\nBecause without a doubt he’d given up the fight
\nThe ghost of somebody at his side<\/p>\n

I will confess to you
\nBecause I didn’t think about the message
\nAs I walked down the alleyway it was a Sunday
\nAnd all my friends deserted me because you painted me
\nAs the fraud I really was
\nAnd if you think you see with just your eyes you’re mad
\n‘Cause Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold
\nWhen she knew she had been bad
\nShe met another blind kid at a fancy dress
\nIt was the best sex she ever had<\/p>\n

I’ll send a dress to you
\nBecause it’s needing badly taken in
\nBut I was so embarressed when I missed your party
\nIt was me that paid for it eventually
\nBecause you know how much I wanted
\nTo meet your friend the star of stage and local press
\nThe dream of all the bowlie boys that hang around here
\nAnd I’m no different from the rest
\nI’m not too proud to say that I’m okay with
\nThe girl next door who’s famous for showing her breasts<\/p>\n

You’re not impressed by me
\nBut it’s a funny way for you to tell me
\nA whisper in a choir stall
\nThe man was talking about you simultaneously
\nFrankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter
\nBecause I have been sleeping badly lately
\nI know you were historical from all the books I’ve read
\nBut I thought you could be bluffing
\nAnd with this chance I’ve missed I feel remiss
\nIt’s days and months before I see you again\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
