James Jefferys - Gypsy & Fool

I think I'm both gypsy and fool
Air in the shed; rock hard tool
An entire garden and just a shard
I create a silence
Then I listen to it
Way too hard

There's those who tell me to retract
Find the irons, take it back
I'd be a gypsy to ignore those fools
They're welcome
To their ugly
And jealous manacles

You build your hut of bricks obscene
But it's funny how you think they're green -
You take to heart what they've not said
And make out as if
They all want you
To wet your bed

The oxblood shoes get slipped on
Feather in the hat
Italian shirt, purple cotton
Apple perfume from top to bottom
Yes, it's all on show
But there's nowhere to go
So on the bed, clothed I lie
The sheets are cold, but at least they're dry

Etchings of mermaids; morphine to me
Bite marks in the cutlery
Queue at the doctors, call me in
Prescribe me
Your attention
All your love
And mescaline
