Musician, Please Take Heed

I’m all alone
This is a holiday
Some bloody holiday
My friends have gone away
They’re of the temporary sort
I think I will be better without
As long as you let me out
To taste the air beside the river
I pick the soundtrack with immaculate care
Such a lot rests upon it
My life upon a song
You don’t know how much I need
Musician, please take heed
I thought I might
Just write a letter
Anything to stay away
From books and lessons today
Besides, it’s part of my induction
Into the literate world
I am a literate girl
I string the words together softly
I lay my love upon you with each line
A gift of improvising
Removes me from revising
I made a daisy-chain from
Phrase verse and punctuation
I’ll kick this mood off with a change of scene
I bought a leotard and go to the gym
I couldn’t get away
With wearing it last summer
But I’ve lost a lot of weight
I think it’s down to leaving meat
Out of my diet as a rule
I won’t buy it cause it’s cruel
And if the night time
Threatens me with pain
I will give in to lust
I will do what I must
I’ve got a number of a girl I know
Who gets hallucinogens
From a pair of hooligans
I’ll take a dose, I don’t mind trying
She lets me stay there while I leave the ground
Old episodes of Minder
I snuggle up beside her
Think that I’ll stay till morning
She’s got me started yawning
