He drives his MG to funerals
He loves to see buildings being destroyed
He found a girl
A sunflower disguised as a pearl.
In the parlour she whispered in his ears
“Nice to meet you I’m Eve, please dry your tears
Tell me your name”
“Earl” was all he could say.
“Let’s drink black tea
Come have a ride with me”
“My heart belongs to the stars
When I stage fake suicides”
Tomorrow it’s his 60th birthday
He’s planned a lovely farewell
She wants to stay with Earl
She wants to be his girl.
“Take this ring from the jewellery
Why throw it into the sea?”
“I know where it is now girl don’t you worry
Play your banjo, sing with me”
“Let’s drink black tea
Come have a ride with me”
“My heart belongs to the stars
When I stage fake suicides”.
Eve is waiting for the doctor
He’s said bye-bye and now she suffers
She’s heard the nurse
Calling the chauffeur to bring the hearse.
She drives his car to the country
Let it drowned into the sea
“I’m too old for life now girl don’t you worry
Play your banjo, sing for me”
“Let’s drink black tea
Come have a ride with me”
“My heart belongs to the stars
When I stage fake suicides”.
EVE & EARL
