A love in verse

School for Scandal

1995-06-16
Performed by
Garnon Davies

All week I’ve worn this wig and dress

And watched the camp convoy of scandal pass

And asked “For such fey art could I care less

Strutting on heels, so far from my dear lass?”


There’s just one curtain-up I want to see – 

Two lids rising above two marvellous eyes 

The world’s no stage but just a set for me,

A background for the two blue stars I prize.


I’d take the littlest part, however mean,

So long as you are with me in the scene.

The Director

I leave you – back there – a dozen miles away 

A journey of great length – 

Hours till we meet...

Antibodies

I hurt my heart in hurting you

It goes both ways I guess

Two hearts are wounded but it’s true...
