a common
kind
of lover is
the 'jinxed type'
for instance the type of guy
who's afraid of
trump cards
or black cats
a common
kind
of lover is
the 'jinxed type'
well i am
like that but
a common
kind
of lover is
the 'jinxed type'
for example
my boyfriend
is just like that
even though
jinx is generally speaking
a silly subject
my boyfriend even
seriously believes
that if you kiss with your
eyes open that's bad luck
i sometimes
just for the hell of it
open my eyes
when we are kissing
and if i look
at him
you won't believe this
he's got his eyes closed
tight as if he was praying
ah well if something bad
is to happen
it will happen
before long i suppose
this kind of jinx
is unbelievable
this kind of jinx
has a touch of the infantile
this kind of jinx
is laughable
this kind of jinx
has a touch of the senile
a common kind
of lover is
the 'jinxed type'
and though
jinx is generally
a silly subject
my boyfriend
seriously believes that
if you kiss with your eyes
open that's bad luck
i believe in astrology
but believing it's bad luck
to kiss with your eyes open
is pushing things a bit too far
i haven't spoken about this
with nobody
not even with my mother
this is the kind of jinxed
blabber he goes
on and on about
and tonight
i won't be
kissing you
in this
preposterous way
i will
be opening one eye
and slowly kissing
someone
else
this was a song called jinx!
