Hamilton quietly closed his front door

He was carrying a bunch of flowers

Grace watched him cross the road

The flowers were not for her

She finished her coffee

And entered their apartment Clémentine Delauney 

Within a few minutes all of his vinyl records

Lay on the railway embankment

They were worth hundreds of pounds

And were slowly spoiling in the rain

Grace then slashed his metal tee shirts

And tore his Clémentine Delauney poster

From the office wall and trashed it

It was then that Hamilton returned

He was still carrying the flowers

Grace threw a cup at him

And insisted on knowing

Why he had purchased flowers

That were not intended for her

Ignoring the damage and the loss

Hamilton explained that his mother

Had fallen from her bicycle and was hospitalised

The flowers were for her but he was not admitted

As she was in the operating theatre

Grace then leaned forward and asked

That he might remove her black wings

And not leave strong dope in unlocked drawers
