Lyrics
Crafted from Renaissance stone Mostly these days I write poetry on my phone. I wish I had more of your staunch American character, Strong, bold, and unflinching, like the desert, or a New York skyscraper. But I am more like the English weather Unpredictable and ever changing, Prone to downpours. Battered by sudden winds - thin-skinned, eye-bagged and always cold, Proud and leaking. Did you think you would give birth to such and English creature, With your warm American blood. I just found a picture of me Drunk in a corridor with Liza Minnеlli, Waiting for Lady Gaga to go on stage. I make songs to tie pеople to me, With a ribbon of fantasy around their necks Such a beautiful bow That I hold in my fist. And will not let go.
