>>SPREAD OUT 
>> 
>>She's spread out; 
>>Her skirt pulled up slightly; 
>>She's lifted her arm, one can see her armpits; 
>>And with one hand she's holding her breast;

>>When I go by your neighborhood, 
>>Dressed to kill, 
>>Do you think I'll cherish you 
>>As much as I do today?

THE BLUE-EYED GIANT, THE MINIATURE 
>>WOMAN AND THE HONEYSUCKLE 
>> 
>>He was a blue-eyed giant, 
>>He loved a miniature woman. 
>>The woman's dream was of a miniature house 
>> with a garden where honeysuckle grows 
>> in a riot of colours 
>> that sort of house. 
>> 
>>The giant loved like a giant, 
>>and his hands were used to such big things 
>> that the giant could not 
>>make the building, 
>> could not knock on the door 
>>of the garden where the honeysuckle grows 
>> in a riot of colours 
>> at that house. 
>> 
>>He was a blue-eyed giant, 
>>He loved a miniature woman, 
>>a mini miniature woman. 
>>The woman was hungry for comfort 
>> and tired of the giant's long strides. 
>>And bye bye off she went to the embraces of a rich dwarf 
>>with a garden where the honeysuckle grows 
>> in a riot of colours 
>> that sort of house. 
>> 
>>Now the blue-eyed giant realizes, 
>>a giant isn't even a graveyard for love: 
>>in the garden where the honeysuckle grows 
>> in a riot of colours 
>> that sort of house...
