"Man of Action" by Emma Bull

Man of Action

lyrics by Emma Bull
My therapist had quite a lot to say
When I explained I was unmoved by chocolates and bouquets.
“What are you looking for in love,” she asked, “that you can’t find?”
I said, “The smell of cordite would brighten up my day.”

Does he wear his jacket loose to hide the holster?
Does he keep his schedule free to cut and run?
I’m the girl dressed in black in the Lotus Elan
And I’m looking for a man of action.

But sensitive and sweet gives me...
