Oh my love, Janine
I´m helpless for your smile
Like a Polish wanderer
I travel ever onwards to your land
And were it not just for the jewels, I´d close your hand
Your strange demand
To ´collocate´ my mind
Scares me into gloom
You´re too intense
I´ll have to keep you in your place
I´ve no defence
I´ve got to keep my veil on my face
Janine, Janine, you´d like to know me well
But I´ve got things inside my head
That even I can´t face
Janine, Janine, you´d like to crash
my walls
But if you take an axe to me
You´ll kill another man
Not me at all
You´re fey, Janine
A tripper to the last
But if I catch you standing on my toes
I´ll have a right to shout you down
For you´re a lazy stream
In which my thoughts would drown
So stay, Janine
And we can glide along
I´ve caught your wings for laughs
I´m not obliged to read you statements of the year
So take your glasses off
And don´t act so sincere
Janine, Janine, you´d like to know me well
But I´ve got things inside my head
That even I can´t face
Janine, Janine, you´d like to crash
my walls
But if you take an axe to me
You´ll kill another man
Not me at all
I´m helpless for your smile
Like a Polish wanderer
I travel ever onwards to your land
And were it not just for the jewels, I´d close your hand
Your strange demand
To ´collocate´ my mind
Scares me into gloom
You´re too intense
I´ll have to keep you in your place
I´ve no defence
I´ve got to keep my veil on my face
Janine, Janine, you´d like to know me well
But I´ve got things inside my head
That even I can´t face
Janine, Janine, you´d like to crash
my walls
But if you take an axe to me
You´ll kill another man
Not me at all
You´re fey, Janine
A tripper to the last
But if I catch you standing on my toes
I´ll have a right to shout you down
For you´re a lazy stream
In which my thoughts would drown
So stay, Janine
And we can glide along
I´ve caught your wings for laughs
I´m not obliged to read you statements of the year
So take your glasses off
And don´t act so sincere
Janine, Janine, you´d like to know me well
But I´ve got things inside my head
That even I can´t face
Janine, Janine, you´d like to crash
my walls
But if you take an axe to me
You´ll kill another man
Not me at all
