about

Written and performed by Tash Rialto

lyrics

As we lay there wrapped in each other’s semi-amputated limbs she asked me “How do you know when you’re in love?” “Well, it’s like this,” I said, “you can shut the stable door after the horse has bolted but you can’t make it drink.” “That makes a lot of sense,” she said, and I said, “Thanks, I know,” and then I had another wank in her and briefly for a while I suspected I might actually be in love. Maybe I dreamt it but who knows, I dremp all kinds of things. That’s the funny thing about love, you see, it’s like herding cats. Once you pop, you can’t stop, and the longer you leave it, the harder it gets nudge nudge wink, or as they say on the continent, nudges nudges, winkez winkez, yes, they know what they’re talking about, the French, or at least that’s what she told me, and I believed her coz that’s what love is, isn’t it, unconditional belief, and sometimes it’s similar to a feeling of mild food poisoning but we’ll live. Talking of winking, that’s how we met, I really ought to sort out this terrible facial tick of mine, it lands me in all sorts of trouble, but luckily enough she thought my winking was somewhat fruity in a Carry On style of fashion so here we are now. Life’s a funny one, isn’t it? “Do you believe in fate?” she asked me. “What’s not to believe in,” I said, “I’ve been to several and they were perfectly charming. Won some York Fruits in a tombola at one,” I said. What was I saying? Oh yes, so we’re lying there, basting ourselves on that boiling summer’s afternoon, and she says, “What would you say if I told you I was falling in love with you?” and I said, “We’ll burn those bridges when we come to them, and my Daddy always told me ‘Have the strength to change what you cannot stand and to stand on one leg with your eyes closed is a skill indeed is a friend in need’.” “Wow, you’re a real romantic,” she said, and I said, “Thanks, I know.”
