Homeward after classes, I pass the ground floor flat
That always leaves it light on and blinds open so that
I can see the Spielberg and Hitchcock posters which
Border the to-do list that's pinned upon the fridge
I wonder who is eating all their meals in there
And if they're alone or have someone with whom to share
A family recipe
I wish that it were me
Homeward after classes, I pass the ground floor flat
That always leaves it light on and blinds open so that
I can see her as she's sitting at the table
And turning her head to look out through the window
I wonder if she sees
The fact that I can see
Am I the spectator?
The gaze that demeans
I feel such displeasure
Displeasure in being seen
The next time I'm walking home I see the blinds drawn
But the warm amber glow reveals that still the light's on
I guess that she has seen
The fact that I can see

Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer
