lirik lagu the beast and the beauty - peter porter
his fear never loud in daylight, risen to a night whisper
of a dead mother in the weatherboard house
he had this great piece of luck: a girl
in paris clothes, ex~school monitor, chose
him for her lover. twenty~one and experienced
she showed his hands the presentiment of clothes
and first at a party kissed him, then took
him home where they did what he’d always supposed
her sophistication was his grеat delight:
her mother and fathеr drinking, throwing things
the unhappy marriage, the tradespeople on christian
name terms ~ all the democratic s~xiness ~ mornings
with the pick of the pops and the daily express
and yet the sudden itching despair, the wonder in king’s
college chapel, the depth that lived in her soul
of which this raciness was only the worldly covering
but the sophistication chose to k!ll ~ the sophistication
was on the inside of the skin. her family of drunks
were shrewd, wine~wise young barristers and gentlemen ~
farmers fought for her hand. in the loft there waited trunks
of heirlooms to be taken seriously. he found himself
ditched, his calls unanswered, his world shrunk
to eating in lyons’, waiting outside her house at midnight
her serious tears to haunt him, boiling on his bunk
so he sits alone in libraries, hideous and hairy of soul
a beast again, waiting for a l~stful kiss to bring
back his human smell, the taste of woman on his tongue
