Poodles and Pink Gin

(Daniel Roy Connelly)

The narrator is in Rome trying to forget his recent break up but sees his lover everywhere. Only indulgence is worthwhile, in the form of poodles and pink gin.

I flatten myself before your grace, 
Do nothing in anger 
Do nothing in haste 
Do everything to turn the tide  
So you’ll come floating back.  
 
I came to Rome 
Got fat again 
Said my prayers 
At the Vatican 
Usual deal 
No-one listens 
I’d piss in a fountain 
If someone would miss me.  
 
The only thing 
To wash this sin 
Is sincerity on overload  
And poodles and pink gin.  
 
Ah, sweetheart,  
Your face is everywhere,  
Every painting I’m in awe of  
Every cloud and parkland walk,  
You’re holidaying inside my head 
And there we talk and talk and talk.  
 
The only thing 
To wash this sin 
Is sincerity on overload  
And poodles and XXXX XXX
