Love Princess

I recall the day I came to stay in my beloved Ehime
There wasn’t much I could say to express my confusion at least in Japanese
anyway
I was struck by the smell of the staff-room and the dog-like procedure involved
when I went to the bathroom
It was a struggle back then
But now I’ve learned to use the toilet
And now after failing nikyu I can speak nihongo, or whatever they call it
Now I can ask a girl for her phone number
And after 12 long months I’m pretty bloody good at ikebana
I recall the day I came to stay in my beloved Ehime
There wasn’t much I could say to express my confusion at least in Japanese
anyway
When I arrived in my town, they said there’s a super (market) down the road,
and it’s not too far, it took two hours by train and another hour by car
I made a nice group of friends in my town, they were a very friendly bunch,
but they didn’t get let out of the old peoples home, that much
But now I’ve made friends my own age
And now I can read a menu, well at least the first page
And now I understand that people don’t mean to be dicks
When they say with a patronizing smile, that I’m good with chopsticks
I have grown to love the love princess
I just wish I had a little more success with the opposite sex
Or if I was gay then with the same sex
