Momus - Puritans lyrics

Please don't let's talk about what is and what is not the case If I got tired of you I'd tell you to your face The way you pick your words when you're describing me It seems you're far outside my personality I have no cause to be dissatisfied with you So I can't understand what cure I'm stretching to We once surveyed our prospects, now we reminisce Would I have come if I'd anticipated this? O take these puritans away! Open the window dear I need a breath of air The sky is cloudless and there's no disorder there Pull on some clothes and we'll consider what to do To fill the space before we're back here in this room Away! We'll walk the districts and we'll watch the pa**ers-by All these familiar scenes make difference seem a lie If we compose ourselves and try to look our best We might at last provoke each other's interest When we pa** other couples walking on the street Or in a restaurant study faces as we eat We set to wondering in great perplexity The secret they possess that's barred from you and me O take these puritans away!
