PH: I was always safer with a moon to light the dark.

lyrics

SPECIAL

I was thinking of nothing special
the way I always do
when I recalled the bare room and the mattress
and spread across it was you
wearing my black Swedish navy long coat
and nothing underneath
trying to light my ancient Zippo
a joint clenched between your teeth
and I freaked out at the spider
as big as Tyson's fist
you casually tossed him out the window
with a flick of your wrist
and that bastard kept on phoning you
cos he knew you were with me
and you'd told him in lurid detail what we were doing
so he'd be wanking furiously
a bottle of Bombay Sapphire
rice and sushi on the floor
tasted, wasted, we embraced
new worlds to explore
we fell deeply in bed
that's how the cynic goes
but revelation is much more
than taking off your clothes
there was a deeper connection
more than I ever felt before
or since, if it comes to that
you touched me to the core
when I was broken down and used up
burnt out like an old light
you saved me when you held me
and got me through the night
three years we lived together
in maximum insecurity
but you finally had enough
of my possessive jealousy
I didn't ever want to lose you
but that's exactly what I did
I stopped treating you as an equal
but as a temperamental kid
and there's hardly a day goes by
that I don't regret
my catastrophic stupidity
but I won't forget
the gladness, madness and sadness
all tied up in you
I'm thinking of something special
the way I rarely do
