Lyrics:
(I bought a toothbrush)
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face Pyjamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place Past the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill Billboards and the buildings. memories of it still Keep calling and calling, but forget it all, I know I will
Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted, but the truth is discovered What's been going on now that you have gone? There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted, but the truth is discovered
I'm at the car park, the airport, the baggage carousel The people keep on crowding and wishing I was well I said it's no occasion, It's no story I could tell At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock Your body gets much closer, I fumble for the clock Alarmed by the seduction, I wish that it would stop
Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted, but the truth is discovered What's been going on now that you have gone? There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted, but the truth is discovered
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue I asked of my reflection, tell me, what is there to do?
Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted, but the truth is discovered What's been going on now that you have gone? There's no other, tempted by the fruit of another Tempted, but the truth is discovered
Oh, tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?) Tempted, but the truth is discovered (What's been going on?) Tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?) Tempted, but the truth is discovered (What's been going on?) Tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?) Tempted, but the truth is discovered (What's been going on?) Tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?) Tempted, but the truth is discovered...
