if i pushed someone away
it was only because they said things
that just were not true

i have not got the money
for chateau by the river
just our old flat
but love i can deliver
i can hold you,
and you can help me not to shiver

and discourse
we do not use that word anymore
except by those who want to be poets
but who are, in reality, thoroughly bored

you know, what i would not give
for a world,
where children were just allowed to live

i caught the coat tails
of my only true guardian angel
i am just a flawed man
a sometimes bored man
