Mayfly Too

(Stephen Duffy)

Soft spoken

No token man or boy

When she goes to the disco she doesn’t like the noise

You’ve seen her read Rilke in German,

Oh of course she would

You’ll make her misunderstand you’re misunderstood

You know she listens to the mayfly

I know you’re looking for a a way to be a mayfly too

She wants love

You offer infatuated dreams

She’ll toast you and post you her treatment for the screen

Bore meets girl

Bore loses girl

You’re the one who chooses every time

She’s clever

She’ll never say “I’m going to make you mine“

You know she listens to the mayfly

I know you’re looking for a a way to be a mayfly too

You want to change her so you won’t want her

A senseless suitor, to want to make her weaker

You’ve seen her read Rilke in German,

Oh of course she would

You’ll make her misunderstand you’re misunderstood

You know she listens to the mayfly

I know you’re looking for a a way to be a mayfly too
