jake thackray - isobel lyrics

Loading...

n-body else is loved so well by isobel, by isobel,
oh, n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.
she’s my rose, my asphodel, my demoiselle, my jezebel,
but n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.

i admire those men who know about mathematics,
who calculate and cipher and compute.
i used to think that logarithms were things that
scuttled about in attics
and surds were little flowers with square roots.
what boots it?

n-body else is loved so well by isobel, by isobel,
oh, n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.
at geometry i don’t excel: my triangles go parallel.
but n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.

i marvel at musicians: maestros, virtuosos;
they’re sensitive and deft beyond belief.
the only tune that i know well is ring-a-rosoes
and i can only whistle it through me teeth.
but good grief!

n-body else is loved so well by isobel, by isobel,
oh, n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.
i couldn’t produce a tuneful decibel, not even if i
strained like h-ll.
but n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.

some can swim for miles and dive from dizzy heights,
from deep and stormy seas they never shrink.
i am not amphibious or watertight,
my function in the water is to sink.
but just think!

n-body else is loved so well by isobel, by isobel,
oh, n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.
upon the sea the slightest swell makes me expel one
h-ll of a yell.
but n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.

some men are sophisticated, gay and hearty;
polite and poised and witty, they’re such fun.
i am never welcome to a c-cktail party:
i drink too much or leave my flies undone.
but thumbs up!

n-body else is loved so well by isobel, by isobel,
oh, n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.
i can’t hold my whisky well and i’ve not got many jokes
to tell.
but n-body else is loved so well by ever-loving isobel,
my one and only isobel, my little iso-isobel –
all other women i repel
‘cause i can’t spell and i smell as well,
but n-body else is loved so well by isobel but me.
