Oscar Wilde

They were made for each other,
At least the TV told her so.
Its just another night in Sydney
Under an FM radio,
Playing songs of innocent and un requited love.
The look on his face said honey,
What are you thinking of?
She said you just sit there quoting lines
From the irresistable Oscar Wilde,
Because your own attempts at modern verse
Lack all the romance of an Irish curse.
She said 'Lets hit up the opera house,
If you can think of nothing better.'
He said 'Ive never been one to think at all.'
She said 'I think I realized that when I read your first love letter,
But it never bothered me at all.
Because we were made of each other,
At least the TV told me so.'
Its just another Sunday morning on a Waltons episode,
Mary Ellen said love, hey love, Its just a real good feeling.
When I say 'I love you, baby' guess thats what Ive been meaning.
But you just sit there quoting lines
From the irresistable Oscar Wilde,
Becuause your own attempts at modern verse
Lack all the romance of an Irish curse.
You might win your beauty queen
If not through love, through sympathy.
But I know your poets dead,
Its your weakness that I want instead.
They drove all night in their 67 Chevy
Until the sun came up upon their love,
And he broke the silence
Before it got to heavy when he said,
'Darling what are you thinking of?'
And she said 'Maybe someday well get to know eachother,
Maybe then Ill find out who you are.'
And he said 'I can tell you right now dear
Im the son of my mother,
And Im sitting right beside you in this car.'
But you just sit there quoting lines
From the irresistable Oscar Wilde,
Because your own attempts at modern verse
Lack all the romance of an Irish curse.
You might win your beauty queen
If not through love, through sympathy.
But I know your poets dead
Its your weakness that I want instead.
I know your poets dead
Its your weakness that I want instead.
They were made for each other,
At least the TV told her so.
Its just another night in Sydney
Under an FM radio,
Playing songs of innocent and un requited love.
The look on his face said honey,
What are yout thinking of ?
