lyrics

Love Beneath The Tuscan Sun

She lay beside the swimming pool
In her Ray Bans after school
At her father’s villa
He was a simple village boy
Whom her father had employed
For the bougainvillea

But as the lotion fried her skin
A temptation settled in
That could last for hours
While he observed her from above
His attention turned to love
And away from flowers

And though he tried
He simply could not hide
The depth of his desire
Beneath the Tuscan sun

She caught him staring at her chest
God these village boys are pests
So uncultivated
Like father’s garden it would seem
If he touches me I’ll scream
And they’re all related

Now as the lotion fried her skin
The temptation crippled him
That he could not cover up
He began to whine and moan
Like an animal alone
To his would be lover

And though she tried
She just could not abide the type
Of thing implied
Beneath the Tuscan sun
Oh here he comes!
Look out!

He stared and scratched his troubled head
As his swimming pool turned red
And began with pardon me
Who’s the body in the pool?
It’s that adolescant fool
I hired to garden

Damn, but your mother was the same
God preserve her sacred name
But these gorrillas
Come to a good romantic end
Now we need a boy to tend
The bougainvilleas

The Villa Capri England, UK

A few years ago one of my musical heros Neil Hannon wrote me a very complimentary letter in which he advised me against over- producing demos - "record companies like to think they've found a diamond in the rough" he wrote. I probably should have listened! These albums are all very different so take your pick, listen and enjoy! The Villa Capri. ... more
