[Intro]
[Verse]
Upon the stroke of nine she climbs
In staggered moves the painful flight
Behind the day of wince and whine
To greet the sleepless soulless night
[Chorus]
To see a back so bare and bold
That hides a hundred spinal ills
And a love that is never old
Like plasters bound by strongest wills
[Verse]
Before her head the pillow pounds
She casts all garments to the wall
And as her lover peels the sounds
She bows to feel the sticky maul
[Chorus]
To see a back so bare and bold
That hides a hundred spinal ills
And a love that is never old
Like plasters bound by strongest wills
[Break]
[Verse]
To round the routine comes the prize
A gentle kiss on each low cheek
Her tennis-ball to bounce the eyes
And tempt a faithful flower to peak
[Chorus]
To see a back so bare and bold
That hides a hundred spinal ills
And a love that is never old
Like plasters bound by strongest wills
[Break]
[Verse]
Upon the stroke of nine she climbs
In staggered moves the painful flight
Behind the day of wince and whine
To greet the sleepless soulless night
[Chorus]
To see a back so bare and bold
That hides a hundred spinal ills
And a love that is never old
Like plasters bound by strongest wills
[Verse]
Before her head the pillow pounds
She casts all garments to the wall
And as her lover peels the sounds
She bows to feel the sticky maul
[Chorus]
To see a back so bare and bold
That hides a hundred spinal ills
And a love that is never old
Like plasters bound by strongest wills
[Break]
[Verse]
To round the routine comes the prize
A gentle kiss on each low cheek
Her tennis-ball to bounce the eyes
And tempt a faithful flower to peak
[Chorus]
To see a back so bare and bold
That hides a hundred spinal ills
And a love that is never old
Like plasters bound by strongest wills
[Chorus]
To see a back so bare and bold
That hides a hundred spinal ills
And a love that is never old
Like plasters bound by strongest wills
