With the inconveniences that
would embarrass me in company
I stay at home as much as possible
It has already happened
I just laugh about it
Being attractive isn't that great either
My friends keep admiring me
only my sister doesn't
call pretty what isn't pretty
She sees me
like I don't like
to see myself
There is nothing more
than this, but I
I want
so much
more
than this
Song "More than this" (1982, Brian Ferry, Roxy Music, album "Avalon")
For Maria Godschalk
Collection "On living on [1]"
