A Guy The Family Feeds (extract)

from The Letters (extracts) by Pol To Paul

lyrics

It’s hard to be a worthy suitor
when you’re bringing in less than the piano tutor,
when you’re making love to a lofty future.
Can we get back down on all fours?

I’m the unknown quantity, a stranger to your needs.
Just a friend of the family, a guy the family feeds.

No outward sign of ambition,
I’m no material guy.
Just an orphan child eyeing up that gleaming set of wheels.
Are we going for a drive?

I’m the unknown quantity, a stranger to your needs.
Just a friend of the family, a guy the family feeds.

Our pleasantries are bitter-sweet, I’m a stranger to your needs.

Just a friend of the family, a guy the family feeds.
