-----------------------------------

Gm
With a crooked smile and a heart-shaped face
Comes from the West country where the birds sing bass
She's got a house-big heart where we all live
Eb                        D
And plead and council and forgive
Gm
Her widow's peak, her lips I've kissed
Her glove of bones at her wrist
That I have held in my hand
Eb                      D
Her Spanish fly and her monkey gland
Gm
Her Godly body and its fourteen stations
That I have embraced, her palpitations
Her unborn baby crying, "Mummy"
Eb                 D
Amongst the rubble of her body
Gm
Her lovely lidded eyes I've sipped
Her fingernails, all pink and chipped
Her accent which I'm told is "broad"
Eb                        D
That I have heard and has been poured
Gm
Into my human heart and filled me
With love, up to the brim, and killed me
And rebuilt me back anew
Eb                     D
With something to look forward to
Gm
Well, who could ask much more than that?
A West country girl with a big fat cat
That looks into her eyes of green
Eb                              D
And meows, "He loves you", then meows again
