《Closer to You》歌词

[00:00:26] And maybe you're the Circle Line girl

[00:00:30] Trying so hard not to let on you know

[00:00:33] I'm looking at the way your toes poke out through your sandals

[00:00:37] At funny angles to your feet

[00:00:40] And how you know it turns me on

[00:00:45] Or maybe you're the Spanish girl

[00:00:47] Playing with your hair as you wait for your friend

[00:00:50] In that wild octagon of mirrors the Tate calls a coffee shop

[00:00:55] And I can smell that hair from here

[00:00:58] And I can see from eight different angles

[00:01:01] The way your nipples look through that thin black cotton top

[00:01:05] Reflected to infinity

[00:01:08] And oh God it's places like that and purple tipped prose like this

[00:01:14] That's going to hemorrhage me girl

[00:01:18] Ooo it's true：

[00:01:22] Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you

[00:01:30] Or maybe you're the bay window girl

[00:01:32] In Wandsworth Town in ripped jeans and open Venetians

[00:01:39] Painting the difficult corner of an empty room

[00:01:42] White under a naked bulb

[00:01:45] Leaning across the bar at the top of your stepladder

[00:01:47] At the precise moment I'm passing on the steep street

[00:01:51] At the bottom of your garden in the gathering night

[00:01:56] Voyeur's delight

[00:02:03] Ooo it's true：

[00:02:07] Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you

[00:02:13] Or maybe you're the foundation painter

[00:02:15] At the Central School looking so fine boned

[00:02:18] I could carry you home in your portfolio case

[00:02:21] Laced up gently so you won't cry out on the bus

[00:02:24] And give the game away

[00:02:26] Tied up lightly because girl

[00:02:27] How could I knowingly injure someone

[00:02:29] With your perfect lips and wrists your exquisite structure

[00:02:35] Oh little acrylic painter I can kiss eggshells I can be ginger

[00:02:42] All the critics say I'm such a sensitive singer

[00:02:54] Ooo it's true：

[00:02:57] Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you

[00:03:04] And maybe you're listening to my voice now

[00:03:06] On your Walkman or your bedsit Dansette

[00:03:08] Letting my songs slip into you on this quiet night

[00:03:12] In with your pads of doodles and your fingers full of pencils

[00:03:15] And low tar cigarettes

[00:03:17] And the music's light and pleasant so you hardly notice

[00:03:20] What I'm singing about in Paper Wraps Rock

[00:03:23] And Murderers the Hope of Women

[00:03:25] My voice is just a sound that pleases you

[00:03:27] That enters you and leaves you just the same

[00:03:31] And that's how I want it to stay because you know

[00:03:38] Ooo it's true：

[00:03:42] Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you

[00:03:49] But some of those were bitter records

[00:03:51] Records which accuse women girls like you

[00:03:53] Of using your attractiveness wantonly and willfully

[00:03:56] To trap and to paralyze men

[00:03:58] Who wanted you and could never have you

[00:04:00] Men who sometimes felt the perverse urge

[00:04:02] To trash the women they desired the most

[00:04:05] Men who imagined they despised all those immaculate visions

[00:04:08] What adolescent crap what kind of idiot would sing that

[00:04:14] Oh not me because you know

[00:04:16] Ooo it's true：

[00:04:20] Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you

[00:04:26] But sometimes I think that every man who writes

[00:04:29] Every man who paints or composes deep soul or symphonies

[00:04:32] It makes no difference all those men are only making do with substitutes：

[00:04:37] Solomon Confucius Franz Kafka

[00:04:40] They'd never have done it if they'd been as beautiful as you

[00:04:43] Sitting cross legged there with gentle music

[00:04:45] Lapping around a promise there where your thighs meet

[00:04:48] Of fertility a million artists couldn't compete with

[00:04:54] Ooo it's true：

[00:04:58] Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you

[00:05:04] And all the time I see you there

[00:05:06] In the eye of my mind and all that cheap macho stuff

[00:05:09] About de Sade and misogyny vanishes into thin air

[00:05:13] And I'm moved to tears just like any other sucker

[00:05:15] Who's been bruised by all the things that weren't to be

[00:05:17] And yet who's ready to fall down on his knees

[00:05:20] In front of a woman and say：

[00:05:21] Whatever you may do whatever you may be to me

[00:05:25] Despite the times we disagree your ridiculous ambitions

[00:05:28] Your conventional inhibitions

[00:05:30] I want you to know that I respect you

[00:05:32] I accept you and I want you to accept me

[00:05:35] I want to kiss you kiss your stockinged knee

[00:05:40] Accept the uniquely soft flesh

[00:05:42] On the undersides of your hips

[00:05:43] Ooo it's true：

[00:05:48] Girl I'm only doing it to be closer to you

[00:05:56] And when I've won you

[00:05:57] When I've fallen down in front of you and said：

[00:05:59] D**n Franz Kafka d**n the Thin White Duke

[00:06:02] D**n the Thin White Duke

[00:06:05] It's you and you alone I'm doing this for

[00:06:08] When I'm through with heroes and pastiche

[00:06:10] Throwing darts in lovers' eyes

[00:06:14] When you've let me make love to you

[00:06:15] The slowest deepest way that I know how

[00:06:18] When you do that for me baby

[00:06:21] And it feels so good

[00:06:23] Bear with me

[00:06:31] That's when I'll think of Paul Klee's epitaph：

[00:06:37] Here lies the painter Paul Klee

[00:06:44] Somewhat closer than usual to the heart of creation

[00:06:50] But far from close enough

[00:06:54] And girl here I lie

[00:06:59] Far from close enough to you
