Max Tundra - Labial lyrics

With astounding grace I'll forget your face Accidental she Hasn't noticed me We will never be I'd like to be as articulate as Mr. L Writing songs about Barbara of Seville Such a wonderful way with a pen, when he's feeling unwell I only sing about things that happen to me I never learnt how to fill my songs with allegory While my peers paid attention in English, I thought about how I could undress the girl who appeared in my life with a 'pow' Never mind that she slipped from my hand, because look at me now Stir that dish with a spoon I found on the street Every boy needs a meal that's protein replete Sometimes I would faint in the days when I didn't eat meat We soon lost count of the meals we had at your place I stand and wash but the food won't come off my face A pan of plain soup and a piece of stale bread in the bowl A rusty meringue and a slice of a pig on a roll Oh, the things we could eat if a ca**erole dish had a soul He fled this town for a quiet house by the sea A lesser risk of a chance encounter with me Does he realise that I relocated in January? A curving glance from a man on Charing Cross Road A signal that I will have to write my own code Long ago, when I used to be friends with a boy I betrayed I was evil, how dare I end up with the one that he craved But it turned out alright 'cause she's been by my side for an age
