Objects of beauty
Figures of fun
Fill the bars & clubs of this small incestuous town
Where brothers & sisters
are all taking turns
with their future spouses meanwhile in view of the dancers
Her body contorts in a manner that's taught
on Top Of The Pops & in gentlemen's clubs
In the shower room alone outlined in spotlighted view
Her thighs grind to a synthetic beat
Pirate eyes cry out for pieces of meat
Her drenched white dress dictates you don't have to hazard a guess
Her lustfully violent eyes are enough of a warning sign
Elsewhere there's a young man
In no dissimilar disguise
This guy's guise beguiles misfortunate misled girls
He handles her body
like an animal desperate for food
He says 'Let's find a crack house, let's get this party started'
He swaggers & sways in a drunken cliche
he's convinced is the way that musicians behave
He karaoke lifestyle begs for belief
He's consciously vain an unconscious disdain
for the female brain is somehow betrayed
in the way he sneers as she removes his hands from her hips
His eyes follow her behind as he nudges his friend
Objects of beauty & of desire
become possessions
Ownership, not love is the law
As we smother each other
with selfish demands
& material objects
These things become indistinguishable
The petitioner sought a messy divorce
The tail of blame of course was pinned to the horse's mouth
Not the ass as would be appropriate
He's had his day now she'll suffocate
some unsuspecting creature, shallow & vain
who will bend to her will without any pain
Together they'll raise an army to bury his name
Objects of beauty
