Brian

Top marks for not trying

So kind of you to bless us

With your effortlessness

We're grateful, so strangely comforted

And I wonder

Are you putting us under

'Cause we can't take our eyes

Off the t-shirt and ties combination?

Well, see you later, innovator

Some want to kiss, some want to kick you

There's not a net you couldn't slip through

Or at least that's the impression I get

'Cause you're smooth, and you're wet

And she's not aware yet

But she's yours

She'll be saying, use me

Show me the jacuzzi

I imagine that it's there, on a plate

You're whole rendezvous rate

Means that you'll never be frightened

To make them wait for a while

I doubt it's your style

Not to get what you set

Out to acquire the eyes are on fire

You are the unforecasted storm

Calm, collected and commanding (top marks for not trying)

You leave the other stories standing

With your renditions and jokes

Bet there's hundreds of blokes

That have wept 'cause you've stolen their

Thunder

Are you putting us under

'Cause we can't take our eyes

Off the t-shirt and ties combination

Well, see you later, innovator
