What it feels to fall into the pool    The hard shelled bugs bite my forearm    My right index fingernail chewed to the quick    My cervix is a long scalene    My sprinklers go off at 6pm each day    And sometimes they spray unsuspecting visitors    My pimples are gooses all over my legs    My brow is furrowed and my vision is blurred    And how I do love London    And how I do love London       The birds make guttural sounds and protect me    My friends come to visit and love me a lot    I don't have the energy to fill them in    I am lagged by the jet and the 12 hour flight    And how I do love London    And how I do love London       I am intrigued by the boy with the androgynous songs    Sometimes they rhyme sometimes they rhyme not    The steam will smell of eucalyptus in the shower    The hug will feel forced upon you inconsolable thing    And how I do love London    And how I do love London       Deep breaths will not make my brain stand still    To be loved and swallowed all single and depraved    I love speaking french to the taxi drivers    We slept and were cold on the train out of France    And how I do love London    And how I do love London
