DELILAH

I saw the light through the gap in your lavatory window

flickering shadows of curry displayed on the wall

I stood there gagging

outside your bedsit, my passion beginning to stall. 

 

My my my Delilah

why why why Delilah?

I could see that girl was too greedy for me

I was to blame 'cause I felt just the same don't you see

 

Next day I made an excuse when I thought of that evening

candlelight curry with starters and lagers as well

I couldn't face her

when I recalled that explosion and thought of the smell. 

 

My my my Delilah

why why why Delilah?

I would see that image for eternity

just when I thought we were ready for sport woe is me. 

 

Bye bye bye Delilah

why why why Delilah

on a first date well I guess it was fate can't you see. 

 

Bye by bye Delilah

why why why Delilah

on that estate well I guess it was fate can't you see.

I had to delay a response on this because of the images it conjured up ! Thanks Graham, John is braced for that i'm sure; it could be the north south divide at work!

Ah ha John. We're on uneven ground here. That first line I made up years ago and it popped up recently with the urge to purge. I should be happy if you took the blame.

Thanks Tony. An exercise in alternative lyrics which would have brought Sir Tom to his knees.

Greg, Kishore and Stephen thanks for your likes !

Strewth, Ray! Pack it in! I can do without the competition.
This is excellent - I shall tell people I wrote it.

A sort of tribute to the bracing talents of Mr John Coopey!
