VINTAGE (CCXIV)

XTC - "Statue Of Liberty"

The first time I saw you standing in the water 
You must have been all of a thousand feet tall 
Nearly naked, unashamed like Herod's daughter 
Your love was so big, it made New York look small 

You've been the subject of so many dreams 
Since I climbed your torso 
Oh, my statue of Liberty 

Boo boo, Impaled on your hair 
What do you do, do, do to me 
Boo boo 

I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book 
A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt 
A billion lovers with their cameras 
Snap to look, and in my fantasy I sail beneath your skirt
