Neil Bartram - I Like It Here lyrics

(THOMAS goes to the shelves in search of a specific story. He finds it and reads.) {THOMAS} "Weaver - Table for Two". A story about Thomas (THOMAS steps into the past and sits at the table. He addresses Ann, his unseen dinner companion. ALVIN steps back and watches.) {THOMAS} I like it here The waitresses tend to be rude But the food is so good The last time I ate here, my publisher paid He should, what with all that my stories have made I had the lamb with thе mint marinade I like it herе It's comfortable The two of us, sitting and chatting and sharing some wine And some hummus The prices they charge here are really a crime We even pay extra for water with lime Still, I come back again time after time I like it here You're probably wondering why we are here When there's so much to plan - like that thing with your father But I needed you to myself for an hour tonight See Everything's moving so quickly There's all these decisions to make And I still have my deadline My head is spinning And something just doesn't feel right I guess what I'm trying to say, now that we have a minute Is, Lately you're asking for more than I'm able to give I think you deserve more than someone who's heart isn't in it Instead of us picking out dishes and bedding I wonder if we shouldn't Postpone the wedding (pause) Ann? What do you think, Ann? Are you okay? You haven't had more than a bite of your tuna tartare(?) Or the hummus Look All that I'm asking is, Can't we just wait And put on the brakes, if it isn't too late Give me some time, Ann And that would be great For everyone Just when two people get into a groove There's always this pressure that things have to move Why do relationship have to Improve? I like it here
