"Songs of Love" by the Divine Comedy on uke

I'm recovering from a cold, and it's rainy out.

Because of my tiny voice, here are the lyrics:

"Pale, pubescent beasts roam through the streets and coffee shops/ Their prey gather in herds
of stiff knee-length skirts and white ankle socks/ But while they search for a mate, my type hibernate in bedrooms above/ Composing their songs of love/ Young uniform minds in uniform lines with uniform ties/ Run round with trousers on fire, and signs of desire they cannot disguise/ While I try to find words as light as the birds that circle above/ To put in my songs of love

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice..."

@iancurtisfanatic That would be deviating from the norm. I'm just trying to fit in, waaah.

great stuff (I know there's some mistakes, but all part of rife's leech pat artistry apparently). great song, nice to hear it on a uke (I started learning a few months ago & did my 1st open mic last week - OBrother's BigRockCandyMountain & Izrael's SomewhereOverTheRainbow, thanks for asking - nervous as hell & yes, mistakes, but glad I did it)
