Shortcut Day



Had that feeling when crossing

tiny gates, harsh gates at Wellington street.

And Beauty had in her face a kind of

grimace. Thought the sun was shining

opposed to my very back.

And had a feeling of you waiting

wherever, empty cases of forgotten romances.

Empty buildings of forgotten reveries.

Would have asked you to marry me

if it hadn't been for the rain.

Had that feeling when setting my daisy garden

outside the old British Parliament.

And that song of rusted democracy and

weedy speechmakers made me feel hollow.

Oh! If it hadn't been for your smile!

Had a feeling of you going accross

the roofs and getting here just to embrace

the most sinful, the most sinister

pleas of this heart of mine.

Had a feeling of you coming.

Had a feeling of you coming.

The takeover of an avenue just for the sake

of our kissing time.

The takeover of a jazz club just for the sake

of our shortcut day.

And the murder of my old guitar

just in front of God.

Just in the name of God.//
