James Jefferys - Lizzie (Down and Out)

When Lizzie looks down on me;
Prince of the gutter, hearts a-flutter
My chin unshaved tends to pave
A path to the paltry, sweaty and sultry –
A prince and nutter, clench and mutter,
Blaming the menials for the crown of doubt –
Changing the meaning of down and out.

When Lizzie looks down on me,
Like she doesn’t care how it makes me feel,
This clever fella will never tell her
What it does to me, and the buzz it brings;
King of the dirt – singing in a shirt
Raining his genius around the drought,
Changing the meaning of down and out.

If I don’t turn up,
Doesn’t mean I’m busy
I’m just imitating Lizzie
If I rip my lip
When you try to kiss me –
All I know, I learned from Lizzie

When Lizzie looks down on me,
Queen of the moulded, curating blindfolded
Banging my stitches, hanging those pictures
In a weird kind of deluded fashion
So no-one can see them enough to judge
Brings pain for redeemers, bound and devout
Changing the meaning of down and out.

Lizzie chucks out her meaty hand
An olive twig – my driest land
Swivels around, shows her hole
A muggy night, the blackest coal.

If I don’t turn up,
Doesn’t mean I’m busy
I’m just imitating Lizzie
If I rip my lip
When you try to kiss me –
All I know, I learned from Lizzie
