When it was autumn and we walked together hand in hand and kicked the leaves and all the notches as the squirrels played in St. James's Park the smell of bonfires caught the air as you stole our breath away in a berth of red and gold under the branches where we lay Your lips felt like honey, your hands felt like bees and you stung me with your love as the leaves whirled in the autumn sky Then in the evening we wandered off to drown ourselves in pints of liquid ***** until we both believed we were someone else The music played and in that instant I was Marilyn Monroe but I don't know who you were and I remember I told you so Your words felt like poison your touch was disease and your cancer grew inside me as the leaves whirled in the autumn sky (humming) Your lips felt like honey, your hands felt like bees and you stung me with your love as the leaves whirled in the autumn sky and you stung me with your love as the leaves whirled in the autumn sky
