Alternative affection

You say you're not romantic

But, I have to disagree

Ok, so its perhaps a little radical

But it kinda works for me

Its not that spine-tingling

When you're strumming your amour

With ear plugs and a lobotomy, hey

I could take a little more

Never flowers and chocolates

Baby

But, you give me things

From time to time

Like the staple gun from Oxfam

And that book on serial crime

Alternative affection baby

It sits ok with me

Like the snowy morning

You wrote 'I love you'

After several mugs of tea

'Forever', formed in ciggy stubs

Left for me to find

And when I'm worse for wear

'Your mine' lipsticked

On my behind

Melted chocolate biscuits

In the glove box of my car

Nibbled into our initials

You inventive babe, you are

The socks love-knotted together

Are sweet and so unique

The fact that they stun cattle

Perhaps a little steep

The times you scream 'You love me'

When I'm in a crowded street

The hamster cage and cricket bat

Nailed, into a lovers seat

Your hair left in my purse

Your toenails clipped into our star

'I trulylove this woman'

Fingerd in the sludge

You've smeared over my car

The way you scrape your knees

Every time you hit the floor

Lying at my feet

Dancing out your passion on the bar

I appreciate every effort babe

And 'I love you back'

I really do

But sometimes candlelight

And flowers can be enough

To prove your love is true
