But Is It Art Lyrics

Stephen Duffy But Is It Art

Broke, I think the rent is due
I've only bracelets from
Your open arms
And encouragements

Why can't I talk to you
For when desire's fulfilled
The beans are spilt
Desire becomes love

Can I ever be the one you want
Can I ever be the one you love
What if the tide against us
Proves too strong
We'll have to wait until it gives enough

I put too much in the way
The way you went it seems
Out of my life
And into my dreams

You turn my night to day
But is it love you say
And in that way
I'll never be free

Come close
(I spoke your name and kissed the air)
The sun is threatening to wake the neighbourhood
Love comes
(The semen stain on your T-shirt)
The rivals became lovers overnight
But how raw is our union on the avenue
Of coffee table points of view
