Back
Semi-Detached listen to a sample mp3 look at the score
My sweetie and I are semi-detachcd
We’re comfy and cool and perfectly matched
His lover is Ann. My lover is Art.
We’re semi-detached but never apart

When some of our loves are semi-destroyed
We make it alright by quoting them Freud
We play little games and never get scratched
It’s easy because we’re semi-detached 		Sometimes a playmate leaves us
For unconnected charms
But when a parting grieves us
We’ve got each other’s arms

We each have a side that’s free as the air
And people don’t see the side that we share
Our set-up is sweet. There isn’t a catch
The secret is living semi-detached
