Looking For The Girl

(album: Likely Stories - 2018)

Let's get some frames exposed
Shed your staples and your clothes
Now give me all you've got to give, positive and negative
F-stops and G-strings, two of my favourite things
I don't want to join in
And here you must be joking
I just want to photograph you

Where have you been all my life
I don't want you for my wife
I like to look, and you look great, in 5 by 4 or 10 by 8
On the page, you are my muse
In my owns, you have no use
You'd better stay under the bed
Or in the dark of my darkroom instead
Because I just want to photograph you

Photographs don't hug you
Photographs don't get old
Photographs, photographs, photographs do as they are told
All the things I said I do, I never could have done
Because I've already shot my loads
And let me load another one
You don't like my attitude?
Well I, I only like you when you're nude
No, I don't want you to be real
Too much hard work does not appeal
No, I just want to photograph you
