To Tory, Lucinda and Brioche. The poem you deserve.*
She’s no good at being phoney She never tells a good lie She knows when I got to be alone She tells me when I’m too high She always walks beside me Never too far too far behind And whatever I seem to do She stays in that good place all the time Because no matter what I say And no matter what I make out to believe She will always be a special lady Especially special to me She’s got that heart of gold within her She’s got the ability to keep the pace She doesn’t take no crap from me She’ll **** well put me in my place And yet at the same time she’s gentle She understands why I am like I am And I know there will be soft words Whenever I need a helping hand. I think these women are one in a million Richer than any gold or diamond ore And I hope in the future that Their boyfriends won’t want any more Because they’re good women as they are It’s quite plain to see They invite me round to play cards And let me watch Eurovision on TV I’ve never been welcomed so much I’ve never felt less alone When these girls are around me I don’t need to wander cos I’m home And when I blow a fuse over something That’s really been driving me round the bend They just smile and shrug their shoulders When it’s time to start over again. She is so good to me, it’s true. I know I have many faults as a man But when I see those eyes, I’m not stupid I know how lucky I am. X
