The 1970s - Faces and Spaces - Our Generation

GIRL CRUSH

I know you share albums,

band t-shirts,

Lee jeans,

boyfriends.

You phone each other incessantly.

You’ve only got two friends

and three into two is indivisible.

Can I join in,

make it easier for you?

I like the Stones,

I really do.

And Yes,

them too.

Can I join in,

Make it easier for you?

Maybe you’ll come over,

play to my tunes,

phone me occasionally.

You only have two friends.

Can you consider me?
