By the canal in British summer rays Talking a lot to waste away the days In your black leather reigns Adolescent growing pains You exist too loudly today, pull away from the sun Tight starry wristbands, and you've only just begun You've read Proust so many times, you believe it all From the adjacent garden, you hear your Mother call There's insects caught on the updraft Floating away, you see the life-raft With heavenly swans on board Some alabaster hooting hoard And the boys in tight vests Run away from your pert ******* You would give chase too Only if you caught them, what on Earth could you do?
