Please Be Upstanding

(album: The Knowledge - 2017)

We've been together 20 years
The passion's never disappeared

Then things started to regress
Undoing all my eagerness
I knew other men had felt like me
Sinking down in misery

Please please please be upstanding
Please please please be upstanding
Please please please be upstanding
Now

My manhood took a silent blow
I thought I had no place to go

We sat up talking all night long
The tactile mood remaining strong
She took me gently by the hand
Together we devised a plan

The doctor saw me and was not surprised
The tests came back and I was lost inside
In the image was a darkened shape
He gave me pills to take and tables turned
The side effect was just a gentle burn
I felt scared as I laid awake

We understand each other's fears
We'd always been there down the years

The prospect of another night
Waking up and holding tight
Trying to balance in mid air
With nothing but a dribble there
