In Paris With You by James Fenton
Don’t talk to me of love. I’ve had an earful
And I get tearful when I’ve downed a drink or two.
I’m one of your talking wounded.
I’m a hostage. I’m maroonded.
But I’m in Paris with you.

Yes I’m angry at the way I’ve been bamboozled
And resentful at the mess I’ve been through.
I admit I’m on the rebound
And I don’t care where are we bound.
I’m in Paris with you.

Do you mind if we do not go to the Louvre
If we say sod off to sodding Notre Dame,
If we skip the Champs Elysées
And remain here in this sleazy

Old hotel room
Doing this and that
To what and whom
Learning who you are,
Learning what I am.

Don’t talk to me of love. Let’s talk of Paris,
The little bit of Paris in our view.
There’s that crack across the ceiling
And the hotel walls are peeling
And I’m in Paris with you.

Don’t talk to me of love. Let’s talk of Paris.
I’m in Paris with the slightest thing you do.
I’m in Paris with your eyes, your mouth,
I’m in Paris with… all points south.
Am I embarrassing you?
I’m in Paris with you.

I'm in Paris, Texas With You (Cowboy)

Turns out I've been reduced by inches
over time...shaving off my extras
and dissin' my true design
and there's a rumor that my new pine lumber ain't the 2 or 4 listed as that number
so my wall's falling short and failing on
it's plumb line
yea
turns out that truth is a kinda bell curve
and omits the most extreme
but with a hammer in the trenches
that truth gets a touch obscene
and secrets go on living
without needin being reduced
yea, a gift that never stops giving
and I'm not worried 'bout it
gettin loose, that its not the truth
yea, just another lie
and I'm tired of being laughed at
wasted cause ur too scared to fly
and
Turns out I've been reduced by inches
over time...shaving off my extras
and dissin' my true design
