Far too much to let him go
But go he must, that I know
There's one too many in this affair
And she knows that I don't ever share
So not to leave this thing in limbo
I make my point by tossing him out a window.

I make my point by tossing him out a window,
He'd been warned when he entered the room,
He found his way in, he could find it back out,
More, if it wasn't done quickly,
From me he'd get a good clout.
I repeated my warning twice over,
Was he hard of hearing or just buzzing about?
At any rate my threat was put into action,
With a fly swatter I rubbed his life out.

With a fly swatter I rubbed his life out
That'll teach him to be flying about
ZZZZZZZ in my ears and in my hair
And now all quiet, nothing there
Is there a heaven where flat flies go
Was I wrong to have acted so
Now I find myself all alone
And open a window to atone

Who's that calling on the phone?
My bookie wants paid alas
He's wanting all of my cash
Alone again but now I'm broke

Helping me to start and never get down,
I was sitting here, wearing a crown,
when all of a sudden, there was a big bang,
I turned to look, and there was a chain gang,
now it's time for me to frown,
for that gang wanted to take me down.
It wasn't fair, but they decided to hang
me from the ceiling, by my wang.
I should have just stuck to being a clown,
because impersonating the king, made me hang upside down!

my smile became a strange frown,
under the furniture I could see
it was filthy indeed
with dust and debris
accumulating with the passage of time
no laughing matter was this state of affairs
but there was nothing I could do
to clean under those chairs
as long as my world was turned around.

As long as my world was turned around,
And goodness prevailed once again,
I'm sure that I would not hear the sound,
of anguish, dispute and pain.
But no, it goes on by day and by week,
misery, sadness, despair.
Badness is king 'cos I'm just a freak,
Who lurks in a dungeon-like lair.

Who lurks in a dungeon-like lair?
She looks like a dangerous creature
With horns and medusa-like hair
I'm studying every feature
But when I look into her eyes
It is not agression I see
So all of the fear in me dies
And slowly it's dawning to me
The outside may not look like mine
But the truth is found under the skin
And even the hide of a swine
Can be hiding true beauty within

But unanswered and that makes it harder to deal
With his presence around you whenever you're here
It hurts to be close, though you still want him near
So you try to convey to him how much you feel
And you hope that he sees it and makes your dream real

But what can i do, my hearts been shot by cupid
And I've been consumed by my undying love since that day
It's a feeling that fills my heart and will not go away
Even though all my friends say I am wasting my time and it's stupid
But there isn't a day I don't think of how we two could play
All the acts of true love, all the things that would totally prove it
That you really are mine and there's nothing on earth that can stop it
That you're in my life now forever and ever to stay
Reality bites me when I have to open my eyes
And I look and I see that you'll never be more than a friend
Oh why can't I listen to friends who are giving advice
But inside of me everything pulls up a wall to prevent
That a piece of my heart stops believing in chances and dies
For my love for him will be a part of me until the end

Makes no difference if he is near,

Kind and gentle, but don't take him for granted
He won't be pushed around,

And will befriend the underdog.
So much more that I could say,
To tell you of this fine man,
I hope you know someone like him
To be your faithful friend.

If the moon never rose and the sun never set.
And yet.
There is hope we should not forget.
The one true love we haven't met.
Music from a sweet cornet.
A dance with a curvy brunette.
The chances taken without regret.

The chances, taken without regret,
Without hesitation or doubt,
As when you dove into an ice cold lake
Not on a dare
But because it was there
And to do so affirmed that you existed
Those chances,
No regrets,
As you sink
Stunned with shock
by the bone chilling reality of the water -
So cold
So clear
So intransigent
yet so welcoming,
Heart pounding,
Adrenalin coursing,
You rise
Break the surface
And gasping,
With regret
Greet the free air
Nostalgic
And still
Yearning for the deep

Yearning for the deep
The comfort found within
Promises meant to keep
Lives yet to begin
Absurdity of love lost
Confused by intense lust
Gratification at any cost
Within the deep there must be trust.

Within the deep there must be trust,

You'll easily succumb to lust,

Sharing that would be very special
Love can make a heart sing
But also be a private hell.

This heart. Bound up in its cell.
The day I fell
in love with Jane
caused me infinite pain,
and even managed to drive me insane.
I sit weary
and feeling fear-y,
so, people, here's my theory:
Love's a pain,
and a really big drain,
but stick with it,
and it'll no longer be shit.
Also, stop whining, you twit.
