My ardour scribes the words of despondent songs

I’ll show you why now that we live too long
and the rivers always dry, can’t you see?

Why can’t you play with me, play those other songs you sing
The days when we’d say that life was worth the pain when the river flowed again, can’t you see…

Can’t you see, this ethereal girl, is she from this world?

She drags me through this land, without moving at all
steals all of my vogues whilst she’s making me crawl Maybe she’ll pull at her hair, take me to her lair

Even still she’s my charming girl, yes he’s out of this world

You see me I just use polari
I’ll find what I need in polari
Blag Bona Blue, Bod Dilly Boy
Dolly Dona Jubes, remould Dilly boy
Yes she’s my charming girl, oh what a charming boy and she’s out of this world

You see me I just use polari
I’ll find what I need in polari
Blag Bona Blue, Bod Dilly Boy
Dolly Dona Jubes, remould dilly boy
Yes she’s my charming girl, but no he’s out of this world
