Making A List

you're making a list
of men you've been ravished by
the catalan drunk
the novelist up for the booker prize
the right-wing dane, the karate champion too
and the guy who was impotent
until he met you

remember a name...
the people who looked at you
with their come to bed eyes

i'm thinking of those
that i wish i'd been ravished by
the crossword girl in the festival hall
with the wit so dry
and at mornington crescent
there’s more than just a few more
then the parisian who floored me
with just one "d'accord"

remember a name...
the women who looked at me
with their go to bed eyes


back to the songlist...
