Hands Clean

If it weren’t for your maturity  None of this would have happened  If you weren’t so wise beyond your years  I would have been able to control myself  If it weren’t for my attention  You wouldn’t have been successful  And if if it weren’t for me  You would never have amounted to very much  Ooo-ooh this could be messy  But you don’t seem to mind  Ooo-ooh don’t go telling everybody  And overlook this supposed crime We’ll fast forward to a few years later  And no-one knows except the both of us  And I have honoured your request for silence  And you’ve washed your hands clean of this You’re essentially an employee  And I like you having to depend on me  You’re a kind of protege  And one day you’ll say you learned all you know from me  I know you depend on me  Like a young thing would go to a guardian  I know you sexualize me       Like a young thing would and I think I like it  Ooo-ooh this could be messy  But you don’t seem to mind  Ooo-ooh don’t go telling everybody  And overlook this supposed crime We’ll fast forward to a few years later  And no-one knows except the both of us  And I have honoured your request for silence  And you’ve washed your hands clean of this What part of our history is re-invented and under rug swept  What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget  What’s with the distance    it seems           so obvious Just make sure you don’t tell on me  Especially to members of your family  We best keep this to ourselves  And not tell any member of our inner posse  I wish I could tell the world  Cos you’re such a pretty thing when you’re done up properly  I might want to marry you one day  If you’d watch that weight and keep your firm body
