Henry Jamison – Reading Days lyrics
On the fainting couch
That's Monica flare for the dramatic oh
So it goes
And in the kitchen there
That's Leonore
Who I adore
Whether I should or not
Well I don't know

And reading the Marquise of O
On the balcony, that's me

Walking in the garden
With Penelope
She says "You may kiss me now
No one will see"
I say "My heart is another's
And that makes me free
Besides I have a hard-won faith
In the eternal Sophie
You think I'd just throw it away
For a little TLC?"

And reading the Answer to Job
Has been good for me

I was just a narcissist, a solipsist, a fantasist
In that old house down by the sea

And reading the Marquise of O
On the balcony, that's me
