LEAVE THE SCENE
BEHIND
She wrote my
name in her diary today again
And now I know
how it feels to exist behind the scenes
And I know how
it feels to kiss into the dreams
Of a girl who
likes to keep it fresh and new
Behind closed
doors,
On chequered bathroom
floors,
Down mahogany
halls
And this is what
she said to me;
This is what she
said to me:
''If you want to
be with me
You've got to
leave that scene behind
And if you want
to be free
You've got to
push your friends aside''
And in the
modern school of urban fantasy
Whose best
writers include her and me
We get down on
our knees and pray to the
Leather-bound
black diary
She said
''David, you will always be a baby brother,
David, you will
always be your mother's son,
And David, you
will always be somebody's favourite pupil,
But you will
never be the one that I want''
This is what she
said to me;
This is what she
said to me
''If you want to
be with me
You've got to
leave that scene behind
And if you want
to be free
You've got to
push your friends aside
You've got to
push, push, push your friends aside
You've got to
leave that scene behind....''
