Emasculine 04:05
bits of last night's make-up printed on your arm self-fulfilling breakup or just a false alarm? answers on a postcard and though i saw it coming i still did nothing hand me the cards lay them out in a straight line so i'll play it safe and you be my emasculine hand me the cards lay them out in a straight line and ask for your blessing if you be my emasculine have i met you yeah and have you met me have i met you yeah and have you met me have you met you yeah and have i met me have you met you yeah and have i met me sycophantic sweetheart lying on your breast i pretend i'm sleeping you smoke a cigarette and all that fuss for nothing apart from loss of innocence and mild self-loathing hand me the cards lay them out in a straight line so i'll play it safe and you be my emasculine hand me the cards lay them out in a straight line and ask for your blessing my effortless emasculine i haven't met you and you haven't met me i haven't met you and you haven't met me you haven't met you and i haven't met me you haven't met you and i haven't met me

you make it look so simple to do right in a world that's not keeping everything in shot all the while looking hot but how much fashion do you need to wear your heart upon your sleeve like what if the colours clash does pink go well with black but there's a box beneath the stairs where i keep all the clothes that i don't wear what an ideal place for keeping mine do what teacher says sticks and stones and words can't hurt heat rises, multiply first boys wear trousers, girls wear skirts jack and jill sitting in a tree with no one else around to see and if you don't make the grade you pay for a comfortable grave down at the graveyard in bournville with a chocolate factory down the hill it's a laugh if you think about it thinking back about those two one of those things that we all knew or, it was speculated that they might be related jack i think is still alive but jill's been dead since '95 though nobody knew back then it was clear by two thousand and ten

every second is a picture less to take nathalie takes her gun and shoots from the waist everything exactly as she planned it hair and makeup elegantly styled but it's like they're from another planet perfect emulation of a smile and when she clicks the shutter all becomes worthwhile as they stand there wearing clothes they didn't buy nathalie pulls the camera down from her eye she's a child with a kodak brownie taking photos of the altar boy she's on holiday with her first girlfriend and she saw the world in polaroid she changes the lens on what was once her favourite toy steps off the tram, calls off her plans with her friends tonight nathalie grows comfortable under the glow of the red safety light and on the shelf, pictures of someone else left to dry all she can see, new memories forming in black and white making money, it's a job she can't avoid vanity, and it's sold by fake humanoids after hours in the quiet city sees a face caught in a window there points the camera at the reflection and the wind catches on her hair as the shutter clicks she disappears into air steps off the tram, calls off her plans with her friends tonight nathalie grows comfortable under the glow of the red safety light and on the shelf, pictures of someone else left to dry nathalie burns pictures of her rendered in black and white

it's getting close to midnight and i'm weary the talking fades, the evening starts to drag we kiss outside the bar, you tell me i'm handsome and what a wonderful night you've had bet you say that to everyone who ever turned you on i won't be put upon but isn't it fun to play along it's too good to be true and so i'll call an end before you come here and you call it on me it's too good to be true so i turn around do the sensible thing let it be it's too good to be true cos i know how it ends and why bother waiting only to see it's too good to be true and so i'll call an end before you come here and you call it on me i know the rules and every way to play it i've done the same so many times before i'm sure you're well aware it takes one to know one and i don't want to know one any more so i want no part of this and i've made my peace with it oh hell i enjoyed the kiss i'm not surprised to find that it you throw together two disparate calibres and look what happens, you can't say it's my fault of everyone i've been through none quite as frightening as you i wonder if you're scared too i'll take the bullet one of us has to and eventually time will destroy it if there's somebody there to enjoy it so play on
