I keep a man inside a box under my bed

My mother says I dream too much

I take the man out and listen to what she says

He says I do not dream enough

I hear my mother in the hall outside my doorway

She�s come to say I talk too much

I put the man, back in the box under my bed



I�m not the only one who argues with the woman in me

Just no-one hears the other voices

I�m not the only one who disagrees with everything



I keep a man inside a box under my bed

My father says I laugh too hard

I take the man out and let him oscillate my head

He does not think my love is good

I watch my father walking silent past my doorway

I hide the man behind my back

And all the while he�s blowing kisses down my spine



I�m not the only one who loves to feel the woman in me

Just no-one sees the other fingers

I�m not the only one who disagrees with everything



Go on and take it come and take these tiny thoughts away

I never used them they were never mine were they

Go on and take it come and wash these dirty thoughts away

I never used them they were never mine



I�d like this man I keep inside the box, under my bed to climb out

Come lie down here beside me

And I like to feel his fingers warm upon my neck



Go on and take it come and take these tiny thoughts away

I never used them they were never mine were they

Go on and take it come and wash these dirty thoughts away

I never used them they were never mine

Go on and take them

Wash these away
