About the Artist
Lyrics
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste A flannel for my face Pyjamas, a hairbrush New shoes and a case I said to my reflection Let's get out of this place Past the church and the steeple The laundry on the hill Billboards and the buildings Memories of it still keep calling and calling But forget it all, I know I will Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on? Now that you have gone There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered I'm at the car park, the airport The baggage carousel The people keep on crowding I'm wishing I was well I said its no occasion It's no story I can tell From my bedside empty pocket A foot without a sock Your body gets much closer I fumble with the clock Alarmed by the seduction I wish that it would stop Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on? Now that you have gone There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered I bought a novel, some perfume A fortune all for you But its not my conscience That hates to be untrue I asked of my reflection As to what is there to do? Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on? Now that you have gone There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted but the truth is discovered
