Brian
Top marks for not tryin’
So kind of you to bless us with your effortlessness
We’re grateful and so strangely comforted
And I wonder are you puttin’ us under
Cause we can’t take our eyes off the T-shirt and ties combination
Well see you later, innovator
Some want to kiss some want to kick you
There’s not a net you couldn’t slip through
Or at least that’s the impression I get cause you’re smooth and you’re wet
And she’s not aware yet but she’s yours
She’ll be sayin’ use me
Show me the Jacuzzi
I imagine that it’s there on a plate
Your high rendezvous rate
Means that you’ll never be frightened
To make them wait for a while
I doubt it’s your style not to get what you set out to acquire
The eyes are on fire
You are the unforecasted storm
[Brian:]
Calm, collected, and commandin’
(Top marks for not tryin’)
You leave the other story standin’
With your renditions and jokes
Bet there’s hundreds of blokes that have wept cause you’ve stolen their …thunder
Are you puttin’ us under
Cause we can’t take our eyes off the T-shirt and ties combination
Well see you later, innovator
