about

Partly inspired by the Queen of the Night, who you can meet at The British Museum, or here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burney_Relief

lyrics

I met a girl who looked like Eleanor Bron
With a Steely Dan T-shirt on
she was the dairy queen of W1
a hundred metres not a marathon

I met a Kim who thought that she was wild
She made me laugh because she never smiled
in twenty minutes she had me beguiled
Another siren with a sulky style

And what she has
I’ll never get
Because I’ve not
stopped dreaming yet
And I recall with fond regret
We’re only human
What’s the worst that could happen?

You could say it was a college crush
And we never really stayed in touch
I like to think I didn’t miss her much
Like folded faces in a royal flush

And what she has
I’ll never get
Because I’ve not
stopped dreaming yet
And I recall with fond regret
We’re only human
What’s the worst that could happen?

The painted nails of an eagle
A pair of owls by her side
Blindfold and regal
Her justice cannot be denied
