lyrics

In Kelvingrove
I will remember
The bright-eyed Venus
From the Low Countries
I see her smile
Yet I’m reconciled
To a great love gone wrong
And I just can’t recall
At all where she came from
At all where love came from
But maybe if I try
Surely if I try
If Paris could chose
Could chose again
Then he’d chose the Thurmanesque
He would call her name
Touch the softness of her wrist
Kiss the fullness of her lips
Kiss her Florentine breasts
By Kelvingrove
I just surrender
For the Venus of Leiden
Is just so out of reach
But what a heady, heady fragrance
Just such a beautiful poison
That we call love
Last night
I heard myself sing
“Nothing else exists Nothing else is real”
Can I tell you something?
There’s nothing left to trust
Everything is lost
When you sold your trust
When it’s way past midnight
In cinemas
Coffee houses
Golden buildings
On empty streets
The Thurmanesque
The Florentine
Sunpowder in the Glasgow sleet
