Serafina Steer - Peach Heart lyrics
He touched this rotten peach heart. The finest discarded from the grocer's cart. He feels boyish delight, the flesh came apart in his hands before he started to peel it. What can you do with a rotten peach heart? Slice it into a rotten peach tart? Or squeeze to a drink though it's stony core Might break my glass or worse, break my jaw. What will you do with this rotten peach heart? What good can come from such a foul start? Even at my best I was worse than the rest and I'm past it. I'm past it now. He held it all night, no accounting for taste. The smell was sweet the juice covered his face. Determined a drop would not go to waste he dreamed up a woman from this soft peach paste. He took out his thimble, his needle, his thread. He pinned back the skin to the sides of her head and from the remains that lay in her place, he traced her body, her neck and her face. She sings, 'But What will you do with this rotten peach heart? What good can come from such a foul start? Even at my best I was worse than the rest and I'm past it. I'm past it now. What will you do with these dried out lips? Never been kissed, never been kissed. Bleached out eyes. Skin like a crisp and stuck at your side like a stitch. |
