Getting un-used to you

text for "Ignored Manuals", a set of songs by Thanasis Deligiannis

  

Getting un-used to you

Again

I pretend I don’t remember

How beautifully you open wine bottles

How you fall asleep watching Hitchcock

How I become a string quartet when you’re in the shower

How you look as if you see when you look

I pretend I don’t remember

That I am too scared to be lonely

Too lonely to be scared

That I’m a neurotic super-hero                                                              That I must be lapidated

That I must be desecrated                                               That I’m another neurotic super-hero

That I remember

I dismember

I surrender

I engender

I un-gender

I pretend I don’t remember

How much I understand

How little I understand

How far I understand

How close I understand

How deep I understand

How high I think

How low I feel

How seriously

How ridiculously

I miss

How crammed I am

With this little

With this huge

With this blue

Piece of love

That you gave me

Ludwig van

day and night, I cough and cough, but don't let that put you off

I don't think I would be deaf, if you were my treble clef
