Reading Days Lyrics by Henry Jamison

Gloria Duplex

2019

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
