Intricate Thing - Robyn Hitchcock, The Venus 3

Love

Between a woman and a man is an intricate thing

Love

Between a woman and a man is an intricate thing

You’re not just friends

You’re not just bodies on the sofa

And when it’s over will you speak to eachother again

Ever?

Love

Between a woman and a man is an intricate thing

(tell me bout it)

Love

Between a woman and a man is an intricate thing

You’re not just friends

You’re not just bodies by the window

Bodies in the lounge

Bodies by the small settee

And if it ends

Are you just bodies by the window

Something you can scrounge

Gotta get a lawyer on me

Can you trust me?

Can you trust me?

Can you trust me?

Love

Between a woman and a man is an intricate thing

Love

Between a woman and a man is an intricate thing

You’re not just friends

You’re not just ships in a field of light

You got all kinds of seeds that you don’t know you’re seeding

All kind of needs that you don’t know you’re needing

All kinds of signals that you don’t know you’re reading

Little drops of blood that you don’t know you’re bleeding

But

Between a woman and a man is an intricate thing

What a distance

What a difference

What a distance

Sailing from you to me

From me to you

From me to you

Love

Between a woman and a man is an intricate thing

Love

Between a woman and a man is an intricate thing

Intricate thing
