Starfish

I was a princess

You were a fisherman

Chucking up water

All undone me

Down on the beach

You showed me the starfish

You pulled their legs off

One by one

Oh what it is to be

So much nicer than you seem

So much nicer than you

Your aspidistra gave me asthma

I stayed for the weekend

All undone chinese laudry

Splishee spashee

At least I got my washing done

Oh what it is to be

So much cleaner than you seem

So much cleaner than you

We were the local

Joke of the nightclubs

Never a day

Without some scene

Who wrote the book of love

I wonder who wrote the lines

We read between

Oh what it is to be

So much wiser than you seem

So much wiser than you

You cheat on me and

I cheat on you and

All our friends pass

The message on

Down on the beach

I look at the starfish

Pull all their legs off

One by one

Oh what it is to be

So in love and so alone

Oh what it is to be

So in love with you
