Semidelinquent

by David Keenan

lyrics

I saw you at the foot of the hill
All dressed up in your furs and beret
There's an immediacy in your gait
You'd bring a tear from a stone on a dry day

Semidelinquent how wonderful you truly are
Semidelinquent we've a decent stretch of time before you lose the plot
Go now to the third floor with your ambitions and your dreams
We've made a bed in a home for former lost boys and future queens.

Meet me on the corner of Fitzroy by the tube
You mugged me off and so I feel like a mug
I am a solitary soldier flung upon
The horse drawn cart of failed rebellion
The sign carrying men witnessed it all
They saw the body language spill upon the street
The saw a dislocated look upon my face
Drawing the curtains now another day in paradise
Another stoic day in paradise with you to love

Red lights disturbing sights you recite homemade lines which give me life
I don't feel so astoundingly alone in this moment anymore
The more I see the more my eyesight fails me
The more I touch the less I feel ashamed

Semidelinquent how wonderful you truly are
Semidelinquent we've a decent stretch of time before you lose the plot
Go now to the third floor with your ambitions and your dreams
We've made a bed in a home for former lost boys and future queens.
