about

In love, opposites do often attract, which can sometimes mean one party is overly romantic while the other is... well... not! That's the premise for this song, into which I also tried to cram as many unlikely words for a love song as I could...

lyrics

Pragmatic Love Song

Why are your eyes so dazzlingly blue?
You said, ‘Genetic mutation, in my humble view.’
Why does your hair have a glorious sheen?
‘Well, that’s the molecular structure of keratin!’
Why is your skin so wonderfully smooth?
You said, ‘That’ll be t’pumice stone that I use.’

You’re nothing if not pragmatic,
And I’m nothing if not ecstatic,
Cos I’m in love with you.

How come your lips cry out to be adored?
You said, ‘Me lips say nowt without me vocal cords!’
How is it you smell like a perfumed rose?
You said, ‘Happen that nasal spray has unblocked your nose!’
What makes you smile so when I’m here beside ya?
‘Facial muscles zygomaticus major and minor.’

You’re nothing if not pragmatic,
And I’m nothing if not ecstatic,
Cos I’m in love with you.

Why do you blush so sweetly when I’m near?
You said, ‘It’s called rosacea – I’ve been suffering for years.’
Why, when I see you, do I feel this crazy way?
You said, ‘That’ll be the synapses firing in’t brain.’
How did I come up with this heartfelt laudation?
You said, ‘It’s called an overactive imagination!’

You’re nothing if not pragmatic,
And I’m nothing if not ecstatic,
Cos I’m in love with you.

Oh, you’re nothing if not pragmatic,
And I’m nothing if not ecstatic,
Over the moon,
Cos I’m in love with you.
