Severed Caution - Medley In a Plain Brown Wrapper

I wasn’t looking for love. She just whispered in my ear. Couldn’t trust a word she said, But it sounded so sincere. Boldness when called for is purpose enough. Kindness when asked for should not be refused. But let us consider the question of motives; What use to be married if not to be used? I wasn’t pining for love. I had problems of my own, But she hooked me from the start Like a shady payday loan. Leaves in the gutter, fresh from the fall. Typical autumn, full moon and all. Home for the evening, time on my hands, Flintlock ambitions, gunpowder plans. I wasn’t yearning for love. No one ever gets it right. A smuggler’s moon is what I need, Not expensive candlelight. Portraits and landscapes, abstract affairs, Tokens of lovers’ unanswered prayers. Burnt toast appointments; not much to miss. I’ve gotten over worse things than this. I wasn’t hungry for love. It should ripen on the vine. I played the gent by standing up Got a knife blade from behind. I wasn't looking for love.
