Junk Jewelry (reprise)

Lyrics

Considering the energy she spent on making love to me It's strange the way she never went to sleep I woke up, it was four o'clock, my head was full of alcohol She was at the basin scrubbing at her teeth And later in the sitting room her face was like a tombstone She looked as if she'd stepped out of her grave She whispered very softly she had no desire to hurt me Then she told me she was walking with the saved It was different in the morning, we lay there without talking And the room was full of timelessness and charm She rolled over with her back to me, I touched her very tenderly And started tracing letters on her arm We were eating toasted crumpets which we dipped in pots of honey When the shoulder of her T-shirt fell away Was she trying to be sexy? I felt something like a goalie Trying to judge which way to make a save There's a sandman in the library, the bus is very cold today I think I'll never make it on my own But I know that she is happy for I gave her lots of money To travel or to spend her time at home And even now she's left me her ghost still breaks in regularily Interrupting me with other girls She says "Sorry to disturb you but I think you should be careful Wear a condom and make sure you take your pills" She sent a card from Islington saying she'd bought a kitten And how sometimes she felt lonely late at night And if she needed boys again she'd meet them and make love to them And if she didn't that was quite all right
