My Lovers and I

lyrics

CHORUS
My lovers and I have nothing to/hide
The rules are applied
My lovers and I for truth will/strive
The truth is multiplied

She didn’t mind, he smelt like a goat
There was an animal allure
My husband fell for another woman
And I fell for her too
My love is overflowing
Why should it be contained?
I can feel it deep in my/bones
It’s running through my veins

CHORUS

Her new husband wouldn’t own his jealousy
He kicked us out on the street
Forced her to choose when love is infinite
Your love will never be free
Now my blood is corrupted and killing me
But my love has never strayed
I can feel it deep in my bones
It’s running through my veins

Bridge

Don’t invest in secondary love when there’s conflict in the primary
Don’t take half a couple’s word the other half’s obliging
Protect yourself outside the circle, the rules are applied
When everyone can share a calendar, truth is multiplied

My grandfather was a Methodist Minister
They christened me Diana
Chastise not the Goddess of Love
You cannot force me to choose
I won’t be punished for my/love
Bind me not in/chains
I can feel it deep in my/bones
It’s running through my veins
