Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "All 'bout EVE!"

(dedicato: Carol Maria Aniello)


1) All about Eve:

The trouble with Paradise? NUTS to do. Adam to Eve: "Wanna'nother Coconut?"
"A Campari would be nice?"
"ALL OUT, doll. But dem sweet potatoes rollin' in mah hand-made "Still" should be good by next month; Vodka Rules!?"
"No GIN Martini, Hon?"
"Don't hold ya breath?"
"No Pernod?"
"Squeeze ya knees, doll!"
"How 'bout fresh Orange juice with additives?"
"Hang on. Let me take a piss; U know how it IS -the trouble in Paradise?"
"Ahah!" -sez Eve: "And how is it U muscular burning beef-cake - son of a gun - burning love, with a Degree in THEOSOPHY? How is it SO U NO LO SO?"
"How's What?"
"HOW is WE?"
Adam: (let me think...)
"It's ALL 'bout EVE!"


2) "This time last Summer."

U were drunk, pissed off, committing Romantic suicide on Sampera beach like a SWAN with 3rd degree burns; and I didn't know what to do?
Some lunar eclipse turned out the afternoon lights; everything went mauve or emerald GREEN, but YOU, you Orange-Red like a Blood-fruit?
Minutes later I took off my cheap sunglasses, wiped my eyes and everything returned to Mediterranean blue.
A premonition?... The following Summer, U swam out too far where a great white Shark gorged on your irreplaceable Intellect...


3) Song.

When I see YOU only?
When I see U lonely?
When I see U Comely?
I belong to U.


When I see U distraught?
Or wronged
and down in deep thought?
When I see what's NOT
but OUGHT, for U?
I belong to U.

When I see U Succeed?
When I see U Exceed?
Yet when I see U fail?
And when I see U fail?

-I belong to U.

...And when I see U Only?
When I see U lonely?
When I see you glow?
I belong to U...
