Pools

[Intro]:Dm

A# C Dm C x2

 

[Verse]: F

We float before the sea at dusk

In heavy mist, in glitter dust

A#

I smile before I want to

Gm

I smile because you want to

F

We sip the wind through lips of lust

And out it comes, warm wisps of love

A#

I smile because I want to

Gm

I smile because you want to

Put the flowers in your hair

Wrap your tendrils round my chest

A# Gm

I smile because I want to

Dm

I am your boy

 

[Chorus]:Dm A# F C

Shake my little soul for you now toy

Dm A# F C

And I settle up into a world of noise

Dm A# F C

I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy

Dm A# F C

With a battery of guilt on which to poise

 

[Instrumental]:Dm

 

[Verse 2]: F

Down by the shore, a funny foal

Who bit my wings and ate them whole

A#

You left before I come to

Gm

You left before I come to

F

We took to heels into the trees

I hit my head and bit the leaves

A#

You left before I come to

Gm

You left before I

 

[Chorus]:Dm A# F C

Shake my little soul for you now toy

Dm A# F C

And I settle up into a world of noise

Dm A# F C

I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy

Dm A# F C

With a battery of guilt on which to poise

 

[Instrumental]:Dm F x2

 

[Bridge]:Dm

Shanks of slate fall to the beach

Wrapped in life in ultra greens

Pools teem with tiny feet

And whorls of tired anemones

A#

You left before I got to

Dm

You left before I got to

Gm

You left before I

Gm

You left before I

Shook the flowers from your hair

Run to me and kiss my hands

Gm

I'm dead before I

Gm

I'm dead before I

 

[Instrumental]:Dm C

 

[Chorus]:/*x2*/Dm A# F C

Shake my little soul for you now toy

Dm A# F C

And I settle up into a world of noise

Dm A# F C

I'm a man of many tricks and tools and joy

Dm A# F C

With a battery of guilt on which to poise

 

[Outro]:/*x2*/ Dm

I smile because I want to

A#

I smile because I want to

Dm

I smile because I want to

N.C.

I smile because I want to

A# Dm

Gm Dm
