97 Lovers


N.B. Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings


97 lovers
Twisted out of shape
And just one kiss could get them straight.

I know a woman with a picture of Roger Moore
In a short towelling dressing gown pinned to her bedroom wall.
She married a man who works on a building site.
Now they make love beneath Roger every Friday night.

97 lovers
Twisted out of shape
And just one kiss could get them straight.
97 lovers rose to meet the sun
And when the day was over there were only 91.

Another I knew,
She laughs too loud with her friends;
Playing it safe on the surface to give her heart time to mend.
The one day without warning he walks unannounced through the door
And he picks her heart up off the table.
He watches it smash on the floor.

97 Lovers
Twisted out of shape
And just one kiss could get them straight.

Why 97? It could just have been easily been 970 or 9,700. Just take a short walk
around town and you soon lose count of the deformities. By the way - what's that
growing on your back?
