20 Degrees South and I are on a TGV
We are heading at speed
Towards our beach side villa
I am a successful writer
And now live in Antibes
That is the only fact of my life
I found 20DS begging on a Paris street
She was feeding a habit
So I took her under my wing
I had no ulterior motive
Even though she is very beautiful
I just wanted a companion
We have been together for five years
And she recently told me in confidence
That her birth name was Muriel
That was the first thing that she had revealed
This suits us both as we are very close friends
Who tend to exist within our own shadows
