The Model

The Model Lyrics

I will confess to youBecause you made me think about the timesYou turn the picture on to me and I’ll turn overThe vision was a masterpiece of comic timingBut you wouldn’t laugh at allAnd I wonder what the boy was thinkingThe picture was an old collage of something classicalThe model with a tragic airBecause without a doubt he’d given up the fightThe ghost of somebody at his sideI will confess to youBecause I didn’t think about the messageAs I walked down the alleyway it was a sundayAnd all my friends deserted me because you painted meAs the fraud I really wasAnd if you think you see with just your eyes you’re mad’cause lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfoldWhen she knew she had been badShe met another blind kid at a fancy dressIt was the best sex she ever hadI’ll send a dress to youBecause it’s needing badly taken inBut I was so embarressed when I missed your partyIt was me that paid for it eventuallyBecause you know how much I wantedTo meet your friend the star of stage and local pressThe dream of all the bowlie boys that hang around hereAnd I’m no different from the restI’m not too proud to say that I’m okay withThe girl next door who’s famous for showing her breastsYou’re not impressed by meBut it’s a funny way for you to tell meA whisper in a choir stallThe man was talking about you simultaneouslyFrankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutterBecause I have been sleeping badly latelyI know you were historical from all the books I’ve readBut I thought you could be bluffingAnd with this chance I’ve missed I feel remissIt’s days and months before I see you again
