Is that a line?
FoetusSometimes
But I'm not gonna push no one nowhere
Leave nature to its course
Why infringe on a fringe which is precision made unkempt
I don't ask much - just being here is all I attempt
You could maybe say I'm conducting a sociological survey
I ain't ripped off or sucked in on a neater kind of holiday
Can anybody tell me, who is the grand poobah round here?
There's many people under many impressions I've wanted to know all year
A person I know is a pornographic philosopher
She's a dirty joke from one end of the town to the other
I think there must be some mistake here
She's younger than me yet older than my mother
I can't decide if this is lively or lugubrious
But I ain't gonna start facin' about it 'cos loose lips sink loose ships
Pacemakers molest loose hips
Personally I can do without it
But when the asterisk takes over is when you should worry
But never revived your process in pain 'cos who knows - in a week or two
You may wish you hadn't an' make a trip down memory lane
Now I can't decide if its viscereal or visceral
I've heard of people who are in no hurry
People who are like a dodgy curry
Even more people who don't wanna worry who get in a flurry
Say they're sorr, don't say there sorry, don't you call it "corrie"?
Here comes a line
Is that a line?
For every cloud that has a silver line
You'll find one which has decided to lead a life of crime
Who will dust off the career of a weather-eater in his prime
IS THAT A LINE?
When there seems to be no obstacles in the way
When I ask if my human objects OK
When I feel a neater feeling than you feel
IS THAT A LINE? IS IT A LINE?
Would you please appease my pleas for peas pudding peas and plum pudding please
I know frozen food doesn't grow on trees, ow!
IS THAT A LINE?
If I offer you a better deal
If I polish up some rods of shiny steel
If one makes out one knows how another one feels
IS THAT A LINE?
Person can't keep down person's bile when person realizes person is on trial
Person calm down for awhile
IS THAT A LINE?
Darling any day you'll get my vote
Darling I just love you for your new fur coat
Or is that your hairy shoulders
You could just about part your spine
THIS IS A LINE... THIS IS A LINE
IS THAT A LINE
Not so much hitting as missing
See you at the next bout of pretend kissing
One spreads one's phlegm around too much
Bye bye saliva - keep in touch
IS THAT A LINE
Beware of these danger spots
The place where old actresses go to rot
The trouble with old actresses is that they've always got the same old plots
I know your lines - I know your lines
IS THAT A LINE
IS THAT A LINE?
