Tim and Tina - CocoRosie

She was 29

Mother of one

Blond son

He liked butterflies

She was married

So was he

To a lawyer

She wanted free

She got remarried

Another three

Brown, blue eyed babies

Had Tim and she

He had a gap

His mind was cracked

He was all looks

And coq-fight, fire

Steel blue, heart of sapphire

The rhythm of his thoughts

Were counter-clock

White wizard, black, chicken and fox

Heart locked in a box with horseshoes

And crystals and butterfly wings

Destiny may have broken your home

But you dance to awfully, crudely

You stepped on her shoes

And murdered the clues

Of the light filled forks in the road

You turned all her pages

In rapid succession

You flew to the end

And you skipped the last seas

You mistook magic for love

And love for obsession

He liked butterflies

Broken mirror, cheap tutu

Kissing in the photo-booth

Freeze and smile now, don’t move

She’s watching whales

Two thousand miles away

And can’t remember much

Ooh, they were so cool
