Notorious Fishnet Stockings

Let me not begin at the beginning

Wasn’t that kind of you to give money to charity?
I can’t relate to why you are still feeling so guilty

Yes, your poetic words of witless satire
Are keeping me like a promise from a liar
Honey, it won’t be long until you expire

You probably scribbled, you’ll agree
In your notorious fishnets stockings
When smoking was dictated to me
And I was depicted government free

Here, the crowd are passing through town
Democracy, well it cannot be found
The chess masters homes will soon close down

The rain, it fell so viciously today
I swore I saw you standing in the way

On your skin, on your skin, your notorious fishnet stockings

Your lover’s meaningless ring
Don’t you know to wear it I’d do almost absolutely anything?

What exactly are you hoping to achieve?
You know, he’s tired of playing Adam and Eve
It’s only a matter of time before he takes his leave

You go and stand alarmed with desire
Your notorious fishnet stockings shall
Be communicating to conspire
Like a terrorist holding a wire

My friend drowned yesterday in the canal
I would ask you to come stimulate my morale
But I know you’re not that kind of gal

I am restless, hungry, perhaps dying of thirst
I’m squandering my time, expecting my mind to burst

At this precise second, you’ll be donning your notorious fishnet stockings

Yes, I agree, there’s no wisdom in being a myth
If you can’t recall the one you’re with

Is your lover some kind of evil machine?
Why is he knitting alarm bells for your knickers?
Yes, it’s probably best that you don’t tell him of your dreams

It’s been a sceptical amount of time
Since the last moment I have dreamt
Since I formulated an opinion
On what they actually meant

Here, everybody but me thinks the world is ending
If their crisis comes to pass, can you take my washing in?
Or will you be too busy in your notorious fishnet stockings?

There’s nothing left for me to write, left to say
We can make love from twenty-two miles away

Yours sincerely
