Just on ready for the taking

Fields of misinterpretation

Local girls on Friday nights

In the cell, mute

Without of words for explanation

A long long way

To where they might


Integrated and dysfunctional

Gives a purpose for those who care

The builders of the bridges

The even handed, with prejudice

Subsumed, doomed, laid bare


Somewhere else

The girl and boy both take

A beating, meeting once or more

Outside an agreed arrangement

Only love the curse they shake


Pick me up

Scrape that lousy last potato

OK I may have misled you

But hey

We'd had a drink

And you looked just on ready for the taking
