Walk Away Renee
She said it was just a figment of speech
And I said you mean `figure`
And she said no `figment` because she could never imagine it happening
But it did
When we first met, I played the shy-boy
When she spoke to me for the first time, my nose began to bleed
She guessed the rest
The next day we went on a bus ride to the ferry
And when nobody came to collect our fares, why I knew then this was
something special
I couldn`t stop thinking about her
And everytime I switched on the radio, there was somebody else singing
a song about the two of us
It was just like being on a fast ride at Fun Fair- the sort you want to get off
because it`s scary and then, as soon as you`re off again, you want to
get straight ba
ck on again
But oh love is strange
And you have to learn to take the crunchy with the smooth I suppose
She began going out with Mr. Potato Head
It was when I saw her in the car park with his coat around her shoulders
I realized
I went home and thought about the two of them together until the bath
water went cold around me
I thought about her eyes and the curve of her breasts and about the point
where their bodies met
I confronted her about it
I said `I`m the most illegible bachelor in town`
And she said `Yea, that`s why I can never understand any of those silly
letters you send me`
And then one day it happened
She cut her hair
And I stopped loving her.
