and a song for last summer

G
Come one come all
D
come witness my
Am
polygamy
Dm
my infidelity

G
Come one come all
D
come witness my
Am
inconstancy
Dm
my love's periphery

G
Come one come all
D
come witness my
Am
undoing
Dm
my wrongdoing

G
Come see me love
D
outside of my
Am
domestic sphere
Dm
love's still living here

G
Watch me dress
D
and then impress
Am
my cuckoo
Dm
what will you do

G
Come one come all
D
come witness my
Am
unbidden thing
Dm
my long lost song


G
Come one come all
C
come witness the
D Am
borders of my intent
Dm
my love's not spent

G D
Come friends and lovers
Am Dm
come foes and family
Am Dm
witness my incapacity
Am
to resist
C
a love that's missed

and a song for july

__G___C ______D
no map, directions, compass
_______C
plans, or intentions
__G_____C
simple licentitious
D______G
libidinous
___G____C_________D
no road, no pathway, no sheep track
__________C
no hardbitten highway
G _________C
wild inside and outside
D______G
delicious

no landmark, no googlemap,
no horizon, no trademark,
unfettered, no horizon
for the denizens

no slogans, no adverts,
no armour, no battlescarred hardhats
vulnerable and impossible
unbreakable

no slaves or spareparts
no trite or worn-out bravehearts
sweet suffering, enduring,
consumate

So on the 3rd I could not sleep in a waking dream a tongue rolled out and asked me for a clover as token of my love, i didst procure a clover from i know not where which was taken and rolled away, and I was given a song in return... what strange inspiration is this?! Well here is its a bawdy irish style singalonga.. bizarre... and guitar tabs for yer too, sinfully simple and consistent throughout:

_G _________ C
I asked my love for a clover
___G ___________C
She didnt give me two or three
_G____________ C
I asked for one, she gave me one
____G _____C____ G
And that's why I love she!

lala la la lala lala lala lala lala lalaaaa
lala la la lala lala lala lala lala lalaaaa

I asked my lover for a kiss
and she did give to me
a hundred and one! She gave me one!
And that's why I love she

lala la la lala lala lala lala lala lalaaaa
lala la la lala lala lala lala lala lalaaaa

I asked my lover for a rose
A rose to give to me
She tripped me in the meadow, love
And that's why I love she!

lala la la lala lala lala lala lala lalaaaa
lala la la lala lala lala lala lala lalaaaa

I asked my lover for her heart
Her heart to give to me
I gave her one! She gave me one!
And that's why I love she!

lala la la lala lala lala lala lala lalaaaa
