Julie Christie - Stephen Duffy, The Lilac Time

You remind me of Julie Christie in 'Billy Liar'

You, your milky youth

Wide eyed devotion and pure desire

You are open to all of my suggestions

But you are better for none of my pretensions

They get their way most times

But you’ll get your way this time

You cannot stay in this hole

You’ll get away this time

Warm with wayward hope

Your kisses breathless, your love divine

You left drama school

For shop floor restless, not by design

You are tired of provincial boutique Sundays

You want the mythical New York and Champs Elysee

Never try to profit

With fortune you can stop it

I’m afraid you will succeed

To find what capitals are cleaner

The grass is so much greener

Please don’t ever go to seed
