Tallulah Darling!: I Could Never Keep the Man
i could never keep the man!
no one ever claimed that life was easy,
but despite this, at most things i've been adept.
and as down life's road i've travelled,
as my destiny unravelled,
a diary's not the only thing i've kept.
i kept the diamond and kept the cars,
those gowns designed by beaton and those burmese pyas,
and once or twice i must admit i kept the scars,
but i could never keep the man!
i kept the poems by jean cocteau.
that darling little figure carved by dear pablo,
and any cheque that ended in an o o oh!
but i could never keep the man!
i kept camels from sultans, and horses from kings,
and pearls from katmandu.
i kept peacocks and parrots, and other such things…
i re-call a lovely cockatoou!
i kept the rights to that porter song.
the cartier clock that chimed and never once was wrong.
i couldn't stand the ding, but how i loved that dong,

but i could never keep the man!
i kept the deeds to that greek hotel,
a first edition of 'the scarlet pimpernel',
and the memory of boleroing with old ravel,
but i could never keep the man!
i kept my stake in that broadway smash.
the tax i didn't pay on jobs i did for cash,
and those shares i sold the day before the wall street crash,
but i could never keep the man!
there were moments of madness and days of desire,
with which i could not part.
and if love was a circus i walked the high wire,
but when i fell, i kept my heart!
i kept the golf course in sunny spain,
and once my 'fear of flying' went, i kept the plane.
i even kept those handcuffs and that bamboo cane,
but i could never,
i could never,
i could never, ever keep the man!
