LYRICS - Starfish
 
 



 

I was a princess
You were a fisherman
Chucking up water all undone
Down on the beach
I showed you the starfish
You pulled their legs off one by one

O what it is to be
So much nicer than you seem
O what it is to be
So much nicer than you

Your aspidistra gave me asthma
I stayed for the weekend all undone
Chinese laundry
Splishee Splashee
At least I got my washing done

O what it is to be
So much cleaner than you seem
O what it is to be
So much cleaner than you

We were the local
Joke of the nightclubs
Never a day without some scene
Who wrote the Book of Love
I wonder
Who wrote the lines
We read between

O what it is to be
So much wiser than you seem
O what it is to be
So much wiser than you

You cheat on me and
I cheat on you and
All our friends pass the message on
Down on the beach
I look at the starfish
Pulling their legs off one by one

O what it is to be
So in love and so alone
O what it is to be
So in love with you
