Real Tennis

King Kong hesitates
Now he has his love
He has no dreams pending
He paws at the helicopters
Like they were his mother-in-law
But capable of flight and refuelling

He played real tennis, took manuka
Laid down in the firing line
No-one noticed he was there
No-one noticed he was there
He played real tennis, took manuka
Laid down in the firing line
No-one noticed he was there
No-one noticed he was there

King Kong ruminates
Suppose he is his name?
And what they say is accurate
He swings from the skyscrapers
As if they'd come to symbolise voids
That only a father could make up

He played real tennis, took manuka
Laid down in the firing line
No-one noticed he was there
No-one noticed he was there
He played real tennis, took manuka
Laid down in the firing line
No-one noticed he was there
No-one noticed he was there

Maybe it's the time of year
Winter is a bitch to live with
Soil your lawn with captive ants
No-one noticed he was there

No one likes a fence-sitter
