I keep a man inside a box under my bed
My mother says i dream too much
I take the man out and listen to what she says
He says i do not dream enough
I hear my mother in the hall outside my doorway
She�s come to say i talk too much
I put the man, back in the box under my bed

I�m not the only one who argues with the woman in me
Just no-one hears the other voices
I�m not the only one who disagrees with everything

I keep a man inside a box under my bed
My father says i laugh too hard
I take the man out and let him oscillate my head
He does not think my love is good
I watch my father walking silent past my doorway
I hide the man behind my back
And all the while he�s blowing kisses down my spine

I�m not the only one who loves to feel the woman in me
Just no-one sees the other fingers
I�m not the only one who disagrees with everything

Go on and take it come and take these tiny thoughts away
I never used them they were never mine were they
Go on and take it come and wash these dirty thoughts away
I never used them they were never mine

I�d like this man i keep inside the box, under my bed to climb out
Come lie down here beside me
And i like to feel his fingers warm upon my neck

Go on and take it come and take these tiny thoughts away
I never used them they were never mine were they
Go on and take it come and wash these dirty thoughts away
I never used them they were never mine
Go on and take them
Wash these away
