We float before the sea at dusk
In heavy mist, in glitter dust
I smile before I want to
I smile because you want to
We sip the wind through lips of lust
And out it comes, warm wisps of love
I smile because I want to
I smile because you want to
Put the flowers in your hair
Wrap your tendrils round my chest
I smile because I want to
I am your boy
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I'm a man of many tricks
and tools and joy
With a battery of guilt on
which to poise
Down by the shore, a funny foal
Who bit my wings and ate 'em whole
You left before I come to
You left before I come to
We took to hills into the trees
I hit my head and bit the leaves
You left before I come to
You left before I...
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I'm a man of many tricks
and tools and joy
With a battery of guilt on
which to poise
Shanks of slate fall to the beach
Wrapped in life in ultra greens
Pools teem with tiny feet
And whorls of tired anemones
You left before I got to
You left before I got to
You left before I
You left before I...
Shook the flowers from your hair
Run to me and kiss my hands
I'm dead before I...
I'm dead before I...
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I'm a man of many tricks
and tools and joy
With a battery of guilt on
which to poise
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I'm a man of many tricks
and tools and toys
With a battery of guilt on
which to poise
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
