Porcelain Fool / What a Sad Affair

from Walk Like a Poem by B Pictures

/

about

{1985 demo recording digitized from cassette, restored, edited, mixed and mastered}

lyrics

A broken nose in a blood-stained duel
— I was a fool
I crawled slap-drunk by the hotel pool
Oh, I was a fool
A porcelain fool

Foreign smiles will often invade
They come with the promise of forever days
Oh, I was a fool
A porcelain fool
A porcelain fool
A porcelain fool

With him I see you again
And the solemn air hugs your pretty face
But there are some things I'll never concede
So give me my dream
And give it to me now

Those un-leaving nights of beds unmade
Are digging, digging, digging a young man's grave
And I'll not ever forget, you'll see
I've changed and I've changed a lot
For the resentment in me
Oh, I was a fool
A porcelain fool
A porcelain fool
A porcelain fool

Hey, oh, what a sad affair
Hey, oh, what a sad affair
Hey, oh...
