Light Blue Afternoon - Robyn Hitchcock

Just a speck

In the mirror

On a light blue afternoon

And that speck’s

Getting bigger

It’ll be a big speck soon

On a light blue afternoon

It’s been coming all your life

And there’s no derailing destiny

She’s a single-minded girl

When you were

Just a baby

They put a weapon in your hand

You grew long

You grew lazy

You cast a shadow in the sand

On a light blue afternoon

Have you any idea how it feels to be cut down?

If you were not

So aggressive

I’d feel pity in my arm.

Chair rage is so possessive

I just don’t know where to start

On a light blue afternoon

And i don’t know where i am with you

There’s no safety in your eye

But the skin is soft

(but the skin is soft)

The skin is soft alright

(the skin is soft alright)

But the skin is soft

(but the skin is soft)

The skin is soft alright

(the skin is soft alright)

But the skin is soft

(but the skin is soft)

The skin is soft alright

(the skin is soft alright)

But the skin is soft

(but the skin is soft)

The skin is soft alright

(the skin is soft alright)
