The Greek Aesthetic
His Grecian lover sits the table beside himDrop the napkin, pick it up againLanguage is a barrier, we'll get around itPlato, fetta, mathematicsA column here and a palisade thereOpen plan living and a lot of fresh airLighting cigarettes out on the porchFive smoke rings and a replica torchI read it in a book, don't you forget itThere's something about the Greek aestheticThere's the Acropolis, there's the ParthenonThere's the door, now get your pants onBarefoot in the street, hiding in the runThinking, talking, democracy is youngA crop of golden curls and a Greek masseuseBody built hard as a statue of ZeusPitting our cars in a chariot raceA dashboard bust of Alexander the GreatI read it in a book, don't you forget itThere's something about the Greek aesthetic
