LPD-songs are great

Some years ago I used to listen a lot to the music of "Legendary Pink Dots" and I always liked their lyric. So here is the text out of a song called "The Lovers".- I like their almost poetic descriptions.


The Lovers (part one)


Airport torture. Patience! Wait! The tannoy shouts you've just arrived and
fingers tap and eyes are strained - they wander through the queue for

recognition. Soon we'll be together - sharing secrets. Share a scarf...... and

share a little heaven. Again. ...


Kisses over breakfast. Touching souls and swapping wishes. The coffee's cold

- you washed the dishes - shared a cigarette and time to go. We took the train -

still clutching. We smiled as others looked away....then looked again...


Hands across the table - tasting tears and linking fingers. Case is packed but

we'll still linger `til our time is up. Soon we'll just be swapping letters, crying

down the telephone. We'll wish away the seconds `til the story starts

again...............


Legendary Pink Dots
