voyeurism isn't all it's cracked up to be

she knew, and so did he,
that being late was never
as bad as coming on time

time had stood still for so long,
silently looking on,
idle time with time on its grubby hands,
time to kill you could say

which is why when time
got a kick up its shapely backside
from myself who'd become tired
of viewing life through
the stained glass of
suspended animation,
they turned to me in a fit of pique
and banished me from the viewing room

then everything happened so fast

flash-forward to the now
that by now has become then,
and right now i just wonder(ed) whether
it wouldn't have been better if i'd
minded my own business

in my sorry defence all i have to say,
your honour, is that i
was green with envy
and blue with longing
and yellow with fever
and read her like an open book
that she shut with a syphilitic clap
which i'm thankful
i didn't catch from her, cos that's like
the oxidized silver lining i will
continue to desparately cling to
until time has time to stand still again

The comments section for some reason is in another language. Its asking me to Lämna din kommentar
but thats never stopped me before. Honestly i dont have intelligent anything to say expect, this one reminds me of a song called Laid

"this bed is on fire with passionate love, the neighbours complain about the noises above

but she only comes when shes on top

My therapist said not to see you no more, she said your'e like a disease without any cure.

she said youre so obsessed that you're becoming a bore" etc.

very catchy aswell. must listen if you havent already.
