the words weren’t mine

soon forgotten many names are like that
yet that sort might needs go to a man’s head
rereleased redone as ever they think
on the train I’ll dance and you’ll be with me
despite the funny joke please let me stay
when you leave someone occupies your room
without a bit of character I am
seen here all hours with the talking porter
I propose you have decided against
the merger that only lived since last night
you must look at my face not on the floor
they say they can cure anything these days
in a different country for the first time
in my life you’re going to take that back
