Aine,
Here's a little song about Love and Lust
It could fit the bill, I trust,

A CALMER SUITER (C) Ken Robertson (Spider Tom)

They read the Kama-Sutra,
An ancient book that says,
How to make your love life lovelier,
In a thousand different ways,
But the writing thing is easier,
Than the doings from the page.
Maybe they should have closed the book,
But, lust's a firery haze.

They were bumping, they were grinding,
They were studying their timing,
And the shrieks and squeals,
Echoed in the night,
Like a couple of explorers,
On the stormy sea oflust
They got where they were going,
but only just.

Like something in a dream,
They were balanced on a beam,
As they improvised new chapters,
From the book,
But gravity took over
And brought them back to earth,
Though they tried to fly, they crashed,
For all their worth. (CHORUS)

Went from something in a dream,
To something of a scream,
As they lost their mount,
And soon did gravitate.
T'was bent, what once was straighten,
More than ego was deflating,
You see many stems are snapped
So near a rose.
And their eyes, were glowing lusty,
As they tumbled through the air.
(CHORUS)


In the heap of limbs and linen, he was losing,
She was grinning,
Then the book had shut and
They had lost their places,
And the pain had quenched the fire,
And dampened their desire,
And wiped the lusty glow,
From off their faces. (CHORUS)

Now they've burned the Kama-Sutra,
He's become, a calmer suitor,
Found the simple things in life,
Are sometimes best,
But they still think of the time,
they came close to flying,
Like a little bird,
Who fell out of the nest. (CHORUS)

is more fertile than his experience. K.R.
