about

(c) & (p) Ian M. Roure (BMI)

Of duplicity & dementia...

lyrics

First face takes offence no matter what you've said
Thinks you mock its origins, you think it not well read.
First face thinks you're such a mollycoddled twit
First face clawed its way on up but you were handed it

The second face loves you, understands you
Is inviting you to lunch
The second face likes you, is behind you
till the fatal blow: second face is the first to go
Second face is the first to go

First face likes to hide and take surreptitious snips
Second's charged with taking ground and then keeping it

Underneath the brilliant self portrait
There's a piece of work far more complex
Starting to show as the surface gets thin
When surface can no longer win...
