A Ghost-Boned Wet Dream
There’s a woman who thinks she can
Have a wet dream about a vague man
She's ghost-boned with an ear to the floor
She hears whispers from the room below
But you can’t have a wet dream over vague men
There’s a baby crying for a mother
There’s an old man screaming out for another
Another daydream of times gone by
Another nightmare of a long goodbye
Her death-chant of summer is the smell of sour milk
She listens to the language Goddess, lets her words wrap like silk
Small moments of solitude, incubating meat
Masturbating apparatus normally works a treat
But you can’t have a wet dream over vague men
There’s a serpent selling secrets to the Ministry of Defence
But the stories he tells don’t make any sense
We’re growing flowers by candle light in hotel rooms
In our daydreams we watch as the Belladonna blooms
But when you're ghost-boned
You can’t have a wet dream over vague men

It's definitely amusing - I think that's partly because you break all kind of taboos - there is that shock factor. And the line 'you can't have a wet dream over a vague man' stimulates thought ;-) I enjoyed your rendition of this at the Tudor and in Preston.
Rachel and I were discussing the merits of personality V looks when it came to fantasy and it reminded me of your song. It's a shame you can't put an audio up John.
