[Verse 1]
We float before the sea at dusk
In heavy mist, in glitter dust
I smile before I want to
I smile because you want to
We sip the wind through lips of lust
And out it comes, warm wisps of love
I smile because I want to
I smile because you want to
Put the flowers in your hair
Wrap your tendrils round my chest
I smile because I want to
I am your boy
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I’m a man of many tricks and tools and joy
With a battery of guilt on which to poise
[Verse 2]
Down by the shore, a funny foal
Who bit my wings and ate 'em whole
You left before I come to
You left before I come to
We took to hills into the trees
I hit my head and bit the leaves
You left before I come to
You left before I...
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I’m a man of many tricks and tools and joy
With a battery of guilt on which to poise
[Bridge]
Shanks of slate fall to the beach
Wrapped in life in ultra greens
Pools teem with tiny feet
And whorls of tired anemones
You left before I got to
You left before I got to
You left before I
You left before I...
Shook the flowers from your hair
Run to me and kiss my hands
I’m dead before I...
I’m dead before I...
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I’m a man of many tricks and tools and joy
With a battery of guilt on which to poise
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I’m a man of many tricks and tools and toys
With a battery of guilt on which to poise
[Outro]
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
We float before the sea at dusk
In heavy mist, in glitter dust
I smile before I want to
I smile because you want to
We sip the wind through lips of lust
And out it comes, warm wisps of love
I smile because I want to
I smile because you want to
Put the flowers in your hair
Wrap your tendrils round my chest
I smile because I want to
I am your boy
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I’m a man of many tricks and tools and joy
With a battery of guilt on which to poise
[Verse 2]
Down by the shore, a funny foal
Who bit my wings and ate 'em whole
You left before I come to
You left before I come to
We took to hills into the trees
I hit my head and bit the leaves
You left before I come to
You left before I...
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I’m a man of many tricks and tools and joy
With a battery of guilt on which to poise
[Bridge]
Shanks of slate fall to the beach
Wrapped in life in ultra greens
Pools teem with tiny feet
And whorls of tired anemones
You left before I got to
You left before I got to
You left before I
You left before I...
Shook the flowers from your hair
Run to me and kiss my hands
I’m dead before I...
I’m dead before I...
[Chorus]
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I’m a man of many tricks and tools and joy
With a battery of guilt on which to poise
Shake my little soul for you now, toy
And I settle up into a world of noise
I’m a man of many tricks and tools and toys
With a battery of guilt on which to poise
[Outro]
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
I smile because I want to
