MAGNET MAN

Magnet man you attract me all you can

But when I stand near you

All I want to do is look around

Your eyes are blue

But that mans over there is bluer

Your chat is funny and lively

But your friends is more stimulating

Magnet man you attract me all you can

But you’re the identikit lover

Not the real deal, the one, the man of my dreams

I met you in crowded nightclub

‘Cigarette?’

‘Don’t smoke’

‘Drink?’

‘I’m on antibiotics but I’ll have a coke’

Minutes later waiting in that 'Don’t look too eager’ way

He arrives with a coke and a slice

Magnet man you attract me all you can

You say the right things

At the right time

You read the right papers

And watch the right programs

You laugh @ the right time

But ultimately you’re just not fluid enough

It feels like pretence

It doesn’t make sense

On paper you’re everything I want

But in reality you’re a mishmash of ideals

Magnet man you attract me all you can

…But what can I say?
