Water in My Eyes

I like Carmen and Domingo dancing for French cameras,

kicking up her fat white thighs.

She looks at me and suddenly there's water in my eyes.

I like sleeping in your shirt, stinks of smoke and all your dirt,

makes me think of you sometimes.

Lying on my own with water in my eyes

I like beads and cultured pearls, your earrings swing like wedding bells

My girl dresses like a drag queen

And I feel like a king when she brings water to my eyes

I like holding my best friend, kissing him to blushing

I love his strong hand around my shoulder

He holds him close to say goodbye, brings water to my eyes

I like Catholic boys on Mobylettes

Brown from their bare feet to their bare heads

They've got John-Paul, they've got the sun, they've got all anyone wants

I only want to watch with water in my eyes

Bored By You

You can treat me like a tart

Flirt with your old flames

Lose me all my friends

But you can't make me care

You can win our every war

Twist my every word

Wait and I will come

But you can't make me care

I wish it wasn't true

But I'm getting bored by you

You can leave me home at night

Drink with who you like

You can sleep it off with me

But you can't make me care

You can keep your phone engaged

Call me just to cry

Lie just as you like

But you can't make me care

I can't be bothered

to be bothered by you

And I don't care to care

What you do

The Country

All I possess is a book with your address,

your name, your number, hearts and kisses drawn under

And all that I own is right here by the phone

Your name, your number and my love

You have hands like my mother

You can hold me like no other man can hold me

But your hands are full

And my heart is empty and cool

You have the voice of a saint

Sad, soft and faint

Your mouth moves so near

But your breath is all I hear

You have some drink

You have some charm

You take me home

You take my arm

You take my heart

And leave me nothing when we part

Take me

Take me to the country

Where I can watch the

Sunlight in your hair
