  Lyrics:
  How dare the Premier ignore my invitations?
  He'll have to go
  So, too, the bunch he luncheons with
  It's second on my list of things to do
  
  At the top Is stopping by
  Your place of work and acting like
  I haven't dreamed of you and I
  And marriage in an orange grove
  You are the only thing in any room you're ever in
  I'm stubborn, selfish and too old.
  
  I sat you down and told you how
  the truest love that's ever found
  was for oneself
  You pulled apart my theory
  With a weary and disinterested sigh
  
  So yes I guess I'm asking you
  To back a horse that's good for glue
  And nothing else
  But find a man that's truer than,
  Find a man that needs you more than I
  
  Sit with me a while
  And let me listen to you talk about
  your dreams and your obsessions
  I'll be quiet and confessional
  The violets explode inside me
  when I meet your eyes
  Then I'm spinning and I'm diving
  Like a cloud of starlings
  
  Darling is this love?  less
