Moon In June

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

On a dilemma between what I need and what I just want

Between your thighs I feel a sensation

How long can I resist the temptation?

I've got my bird, you've got your man

So who else do we need, really?

Now I'm here, I may as well put my other hand in yours

While we decide how far to go and if we've got time to do it now

And if it's half as good for you as it is for me

Then you won't mind if we lie down for a while, just for a while

Till all the thing I want is need

Till all the thing I want is need

I want you more than ever now

We're on the floor, and you want more, and I feel almost sure

That cause now we've agreed, that we got what we need

Then all the thing us needs is wanting

I realized when I saw you last

We've been together now and then

From time to time - just here and there

Now I know how it feels from my hair to my heels

To have you on the horns of my dilemma

- Oh! Wait a minute! -

Over - Up - Over - Up - ... Down

Down - Over - Up - Over - ... Up

Living can be lovely, here in New York State

Ah, but I wish that I were home

And I wish I were home again - back home again, home again

There are places and people that I'm so glad to have seen

Ah, but I miss the trees, and I wish that I were home again

Back home again

The sun shines here all summer

Its nice cause you can get quite brown

Ah, but I miss the rain - ticky tacky ticky

And I wish that I were home again - home again, home again...

Living is easy here in New York State

Ah, but I wish that I were home again

Just before we go on to the next part of our song

Let's all make sure we've got the time

Music-making still performs the normal functions -

background noise for people scheming, seducing, revolting and teaching

That's all right by me, don't think that I'm complaining

After all, it's only leisure time, isn't it?

Now I love your eyes - see how the time flies

She's learning to hate, but it's just too late for me

It was the same with her love

It just wasn't enough for me

But before this feeling dies

Remember how distance can tell lies!

You can almost see her eyes, is it me she despises or you?

You're awfully nice to me and I'm sure you can see what her game is

She sees you in her place, just as if it's a race

And you're winning, and you're winning

She just can't undertsand that for me everything's just beginning

Until I get more homesick

So before this feeling dies, remember how distance tells us lies...

[A música acaba com um trecho de "Singing A Song In The Morning", do Kevin Ayers]

Singing a song in the morning

Singing it again at night

Don't really know what I'm singing about

But it makes me feel all right
