Don't Call Desiree

Born the day before the World Cup Final 66 You thought you were destined for great things You thought The rare “I like you” Seeping out while in the bedroom Illustrates my real conundrum Why I’m still around you I’m half alive then Half unsure that I’m dying Cos there’s nothing I rely on When I’m left around you Don’t call Desiree You’ve really got the better of the 10 percent that’s still me Don’t call Desiree You’ll only perforate the outer shell that still contains me Don’t come around Don’t come around Don’t call Desiree Fast Forward 55 years What have you accomplished? Nothing much Just blame it on Desiree She caught me out With no more energy to progress Will she ever start to process That we’re being used we are She’s underneath And that is where she wants to hear All the voices that surround me Telling me to speak to her Don’t call Desiree You’ve really got the better of the 10 percent that’s still me Don’t call Desiree You’ll only perforate the outer shell that still contains me Don’t come around Don’t come around Don’t call Desiree
