Love Paris


I have just stolen 

A rare edition 

Of Ulysses 

It dates from 1922

It was so easy as Maude 

Distracted the old guy 

With her gossamer blouse

He was all eyes and no attention 

We are now sitting 

Inside the Cafe Camus 

And can see the cops 

Acting like bees 

Maude no longer 

Has dark hair 

It was only a wig

She is wearing a beatnik sweater 

Over her revealing top 

I am wearing a leather jacket 

Toughie worn chic chic chic 

A Ruffian with a Lobster 

In five hours we will catch a train 

We have delayed our departure 

It is part of the fun 

Cameras here Camera There 

Cameras every fucking where 

We will be recorded

 A thousand times 

But not recognised 

As we are hiding in the plain sight

I would have made a good assassin 

Before our departure 

Maude will read Ulysses 

On an anonymous bench 

Thousands will pass 

None will suspect 

We have gained

 A material advantage 

But will enjoy the journey 

As young lovers should do
