I left my house this morning
with your photo in my pocket
boiling coffee in my gullet
and my coat still full of rain
from our meeting at midnight
where you gave me all my stuff back
a signed photograph, a fashion shot
you said chivalry wasn't dead, that's good.
a pack of dogs followed me home
so I gave them all my jackets
they promised to protect me
they said they were from hell, whatever that is
I pay them by the hour
but they've got all the power
cos I'm so cheap they'll probably kill me in my sleep
I'd lay awake and dream
or at least wake with a jolted scream
but I've been keeping myself busy at work
and I've joined the basketball team
oh yeah I've always played, it's what I'm like
ever since I was a child
several plusses including that I now sleep much better
keeps my mind off suicide
can you pick me up mary and take me home?
I love you from the marrow of my bones
can you pick me up mary and take me home
I love you from the marrow of my bones...
can you pick me up mary and take me home?
I love you from the marrow of my bones
can you pick me up mary and take me home
I love you from the marrow of my bones...
can you pick me up mary and take me home?
I love you from the marrow of my bones
can you pick me up mary and take me home
I love you from the marrow of my bones...
