Topic: Straight Forward Blunt - the sequel.

Hi,

No - it's not going to turn into a seven book Harry potter-like series, but here's the latest. I almost have the tune set for this one, but I'm still struggling with the tune for the first one.

Disentangle Yourself


Disentangle yourself, if you can,
From Rebecca.
Your hand's too high on her thigh,
Can you try to respect her.
If she did it to you,
You would cast her aside.
It's those old double standards
I find hard to abide.

Chorus

Disentangle yourself,
Unwrap and unwind
Let the heavy cares of daylight
fall down by your side
For the night brings it's changes
And it's changeling disrobes,
Fits a new face for evening,
And chooses new clothes.


I don't understand a woman like
you
Long legs and high cheek bones
Edgey clothes and cool shoes,
But you're hurting your lover
See the strain on her face,
She asks you to stop
But you double the pace.

Chorus

Rebecca's my friend, and I know
my friends say
That leaving her alone
Is always the best way.
But if she so much as whimpers
I'll cut you no slack,
I'll be in through the door
And knock you on your back.

Chorus

Then Rebecca appears like a goddess
In glory
A glass in her hand
And a whole different story
She loves you by God,
Your her woman who pleases
she just can't get enough
Of your half-hurting teases.

Chorus

Who's the fool? who's the fool
for caring?
A better placed worry
Would ignore these imaginings.
But my eye is still green
There's still something stirring
I haven't forgiven,
I'm just in need of forgiving.

Chorus

If both of you weren't one, I'd want
You both.
As it is I'm pretending
I've blown you both off
If I linger here longing
I'll never get straight,
But my love stops me leaving
So the leaving can wait.

Chorus
