| 作词 : Momus | |
| The pupil is twelve, attractive, withdrawn | |
| In a midnight blue school uniform | |
| Lips just a little too full for her face | |
| Distant eyes full of space | |
| In her posture no trace of coquette | |
| No defiance | |
| She fingers the frets looking forlorn | |
| Crossing her legs where her tights have been torn | |
| Starts as her mother comes into the room | |
| And the afternoon grows still | |
| And her mother feels chill | |
| Shivers and buttons her coat | |
| I gently correct the curve of her back | |
| And open her book in the now-empty flat | |
| At the classical piece I've had her prepare | |
| And her arms are bare as she plays | |
| And I draw back behind her ear | |
| A few strands of hair gone astray | |
| She shows me her bracelet, the lesson is done | |
| I turn it around between finger and thumb | |
| We sit face to face and it seems to me that | |
| Her face is the face of a cat | |
| And touching the place where her breasts will be | |
| I press my hand flat | |
| She comes into my lap, I turn her around | |
| Her hands clasp my neck and her feet skim the ground | |
| Her skirt travels up under my palm | |
| But the pupil sits looking so calm | |
| As if listening to the distant sound | |
| Of a burglar alarm | |
| What happened next it's hard to recall | |
| The guitar lesson left no traces at all | |
| Now, from afar, it seems to resemble | |
| A strange composition in oil | |
| Of a man, a guitar, and an innocent little girl |
