XTC - Statue Of Liberty lyrics

rate me

The first time I saw you standing in the water

You must have been all of a thousand feet tall

Nearly naked - unashamed like Herod's daughter

Your love was so big

It made New York look small

You've been the subject of so many dreams

Since I climbed your torso

Oh!

My statue of Liberty

Boo Boo

Impaled on your hair

What do you do

Do Do to me

Boo Boo

I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book

A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt

A billion lovers with their cameras

Snap to look and in my fantasy

I sail beneath your skirt
