a little gem

Man, I think Darren Hayman is great. I just found this little gem of a video on you tube and wanted to share it. I for one, am one of those folks who love the lyrics in his songs. The tunes are awesome too but for me, I need those lyrics. I know he is proud of the tune but he has to realize how brilliant his lyrics are. I mean, come on, he wrote "tactile" for pete's sake!


In five minutes I’ll be leaving this room,
she doesn’t listen but my word how I swoon when she talks,
but talk is never enough.
The dirty talk that’s what’s bothering me,
And the gaudy walls of this rented property,
I think I’m watching too much porn on TV.
But I won’t go upstairs with her if she talks to me this way,
And I’m not lonely, I’m just bored,
Her clothes are strewn across the living room floor.
I don’t want to get laid I just want to be held.
She is unfaithful, the husband 5 miles away,
She lives alone, she rues her wedding day,
She married beneath herself that’s what her girlfriends say.
Her smile is sad but not the saddest I’ve ever seen,
The saddest smiles are in the dirty magazines,
She made me laugh and now she plans to make me scream.
But I won’t go upstairs with her if she talks to me this way,
And I’m not lonely, I’m just bored,
Her clothes are strewn across the living room floor.
I don’t want to get laid I just want to be held in her arms, in her arms.
And petticoat hems are rising too high,
Romance is dead I think I see the reason why,
I don’t want to get laid I just want to be held in her arms, in her arms.
