Freezing my Brazils Blues

 

 

Its was one in the morning

Sunday morning too

Piccadilly Bus Station

Wrote a poem to you

Eating my Fruit and Nut Bar

Where the ducks the twenty-two?

I need my woman

W.O.M.A.N. I’ll say it again

I need my woman

W.O.M.A.N.

 

Queues are going down

It’s nearly two

Buses thinning like my hair

Heat seeping through

Pigeons are all tucked up

My Brazils are frozen to

I need my woman

W.O.M.A.N. I’ll say it again

I need my woman

W.O.M.A.N.

 

Bus-stations nearly empty

Lady of the night walked on over

What can do for you?

Showed my wallet was all empty

Said to my lady I was true

I need my woman

W.O.M.A.N. I’ll say it again

I need my woman

W.O.M.A.N.

 

Found my way to a pay-phone

Where the hell are you?

Plastic neon lights on hoardings

Sneeze, got man flew

Finally I saw a her car pull over

Got into my wife’s car and kissed her

Coming on home with you

I had my woman

W.O.M.A.N. I’ll say it again

I had my woman

W.O.M.A.N.

The poem is almost true, apart from the Lady of the Night. I wrote it after a comment on a discussion string I started on this Website. They wanted to know what happened next.

I wrote in with a blue type of lyric in mind and that is the style I would deliver it at a performance

Thanks for the feedback Zuzanna

Excellent write Philip,
The refrain I need my woman sounds perfect, almost like a Lyrics. Loved your determination to have your wife back or rather to get together after long day...
GREAT JOB!

Regards,
Zuzanna
