about

Originally a setting of a Stevie Smith poem, this became an original when Peter and I thrashed out some new words...

lyrics

When you pass me by at the grocer,
I'm the batty old girl in the queue,
How could you know when I go home
The things I get up to.

Oh the touch of my skin on the paper
More electric than any man's kiss.
When the poem comes and the hot ink runs
There is no bliss like this.

No bliss like this.
No bliss like this.
Poem comes and the hot ink runs
There is no bliss like this.
