Bob Duluth

if you really want to
we’ll play the songs we knew
20 years ago
and pretend they’re new

bite a bit of melody
from morrissey and marr
touch of bukowski
and bob duluth

it doesn’t matter where you stand
all that matters is the size of the big hand

say yes to a shave
wash away your silly pretense
you are very lovely

really as i’m writing
a note comes to enlarge
my fragile manhood
it’s an easy target

don’t know if i’m a father
but i know i’ve blindly tried
success means failure
never knew you were alive

i want to make mistakes in view
and it matters that you know my aim is true

say yes to a shave
wash away your silly pretense
you are very lovely

i’m hating all ambivilance
i want morning breath and angst
i want passionate kisses
i want to talk with the door wide open

and maybe if you’re laughing
we can drop the guise of goals for perfection
take the yin yang whole

what on earth will simon say?
if that concerns you i offer foam and blade
