[ar:the Lucksmiths]
[00:01.650] Written down here,gentle reader
[00:03.60] It seems too good to be true
[00:09.180] But there ’s a girl in Kansas City
[00:13.390] With my favourite tattoo
[00:15.950] Oh why would I lie to you?
[00:45.539] This was in another century
[00:48.299] Somewhere near the summer ’s end
[00:53.109] The fahrenheit was frightening
[00:56.769] I was awake the whole weekend
[01:00.779] Invited to a barbecue
[01:06.989] I found refuge in the kitchen
[01:11.179] Discussing post-war US literature
[01:16.539] With a girl whose upper arm read “fiction ”
[01:20.199] Like it might have been typewritten
[01:50.39] I asked her its significance
[01:51.409] She said she sometimes took reminding
[01:55.749] What she wanted to be doing
[01:58.979] Whether reading it or writing
[02:04.529] I admitted admiration
[02:06.349] For both typeface and intent
[02:13.989] And said more softly —sotto voce —
[02:18.59] I knew too well what she meant
[02:22.909] She just smiled
[02:24.359] And in a while she went
[02:32.109] For a time I forgot this ever took place
[02:38.829] She left her bottle on the bookcase
[03:33.769] So though I leave you little option
[03:36.199] But to take me at my word
[03:40.389] I assure you,dearest listener
[03:42.529] That it happened as you ’ve heard
[03:48.759] A beer left on a bookshelf
[03:54.509] At a bygone barbecue
[03:57.369] By a girl from Kansas City
[03:59.449] With my favourite tattoo
[04:02.89] Oh why would I lie to you?
[04:14.479] Oh why would I lie to you?
[04:23.799] Oh why would I lie?
