Julian Swales - No Longer Elastic lyrics

No longer elastic No longer a whistle call The creases are deepening Cracks within the flaws No longer elegance No longer La Belle of La Ball Invisible to ingénus Who like their flesh taut Stuck in a power cut He wipes his mouth and shrugs This pa**enger crumbles Tumbles low and fails To memorise his memories Not the man he fantasised: Suave in Gaultier Seasoned, travelled, epigrammatic Parties in Mayfair No chance ecstatic No hope of tantric thrall This squire is tepid His lust a petty squall
