Janine (2015 Remaster)

My love, Janine, I'm helpless for your smile

Like a Polish wanderer I travel ever onwards to your land

And were it not just for the jewels, I'd close your hand

Your strange demand to 'collocate' my mind

Scares me into gloom, you're too intense

I'll have to keep you in your place

I've no defense, I've got to keep my veil on my face

Janine, Janine

You'd like to know me well

But I've got things inside my head that even I can't face

Janine, Janine

You'd like to crash the walls

But if you take an axe to me, you'll kill another man, not me at all

You're fey, Janine, a tripper to the last

But if I catch you standing on my toes

I'll have the right to shout you down

For you're a lazy stream in which my thoughts would drown

So steady, Janine, and we can glide along

I've caught your wings for laughs, I'm not

Obliged to read you statements of the year

So take your glasses off and don't act so sincere

Janine, Janine

You'd like to know me well

But I've got things inside my head that even I can't face

Janine, Janine

You'd like to crash the walls

But if you take an axe to me, you'll kill another man, not me at all
