She used to quote Indigo Girl lyrics and yet I didn't run (at least not then) in fact I liked that I helped Her take life less Seriously (and how can I Forget pulling to a stop in Terry's Little red car as three laugh with tears Rolling after I say 'Its only your life So what if you fuck it up?') though these days It all feels very serious indeed Last night for instance Was no fun at all But I know I am still Better off than most Better than I was Two years ago when the big bridge Held a romantic appeal A historic appeal and you know how I love history I mean Books have been written about that Bridge and those who have climbed it And I've had long talks with cops about how many (Not for nothing they built the million dollar barrier) But there were other bridges close at hand (I took comfort in that) if things got to such A stage but thankfully They never did and I hardly ever Think of her anymore or think About those days looking Up at those great metal struts or About the three guys in that red Car or about the Indigo Girls though at one time (I rarely admit this) I had most of their albums And I heard Their hit the other day While choosing red wine With the former Prime Minister who seemed To be thinking of bridges himself Buying his bottle looking older And spoke to no one save His lone body guard Who had a thingy In his ear.
it's been ages!!
