Any number of things annoy me about this, for one it reminds of Baldrick's Boom Boom poem from Blackadder.
For another, it is rhyming by numbers and frankly not worthy of either Annie or Dave.
And if someone walks into an empty room - why would that make your heart go boom - 'cos you wouldn't be in the room anyway - what with it being empty and all.”
And it sounds like Annie Lennox is singing "Must Be Talking To A Ninja" in the chorus too.
Tori Amos is usually pretty good at writing batty lyrics, just look at the lyrics to "Marianne":
"Tuna, rubber
A little blubber in my igloo
And I knew you, pigtails and all
Girls when they fall
And they said Marianne killed herself
And I said not a chance
Don't you love the girls, ladies, babes, old bags
Who say she was so pretty
Why why why why did she crawl down in the old deep ravine
C'mon pigtails, girls, and all those sailors
Get your bags and hold down
Won't you just hold down
Cause Ed is watching my every sound
I said
They're watching my every sound
The weasel squeaks faster than a seven day week
I said Timmy and that purple monkey
Are all down at Bobby's house
Making themselves pesters and lesters and jesters
And my traitors of kind
And I'm having just thoughts of Marianne
She could outrun the fastest slug
She could
Marianne
Quickest girl in the frying pan"
