Sit back and wear now
your pretensions.
Pretensions? No.
For the last time,
I'm taking of your clothes...
of deceit.
You're climbing at the pole.
You're climbing at the rusting pole.
(And you don't turn me on.)
When the alcohol is pouring down on you.
Just find me at the door.
'Don't find me at the back door.
(You never turned me on.)
Baby, close your mouth.
'Contain that smoke from you-know-who.
I suppose you thought...
you though I'd fall for you.
Well yes, my dear. I did.
Yes I did.
Yes I d... in your dreams.
In your dreams.
[Chorus]
Well, this is fun and games.
Well, I hope you're laughing now.
Well, this is far from truth.
Never thought I'd lie so much.
You are a liar.
Liar.
[II]
You thought...
you thought I had intentions.
Intentions? No.
For the last time,
I'm never here for you --
just the view.
You tell it to your friends.
You tell a fiction to your friends.
(A fairy tale! A fairy tale!)
Honey, honey, don't you know the joke's on you?
(A loosely-knitted fairy tale!)
If I'm so immature and you think I'm an idiot,
(A badly written fiction!)
well, I'm the idiot --
the kid you never knew.
(A fiction of affection.)
I suppose you thought
I'm that guy who makes "the move".
Well, yes I do, I do.
Yes, I do.
Yes, but not on you.
Not on you.
But not on you.
[Coda]
What's the order of our meeting for today?
Excuse me, gentlemen, I have something to say.
These ear-plugs are the very best in the market,
blocking all the nonsense and bull..
(Don't even say it!)
