8. Casanova

15 November 1974

(Ferry)

You, the hero
So many times you’ve loved, and didn’t linger
Now my finger points at you, another loser
You, an island on your own
Complete in every detail
Monumental a precious jewel
Or just a fool

Innovator, it’s in your mind
And blood I watch it simmer
I see you’re courting more despair
No hope? not a glimmer
Now you’re nothing but second hand in glove
With second rate
Now you’re flirting with heroin
-Or is it cocaine?

Casanova, is that your name
Or do you live there?
I know my place is here with you tonight
But not together
