Unputdownable - Róisín Murphy

A quiet place to sit

A little light to see

Some time to read

Is really all I need

You’re unputdownable

A story so confounding

The pages turn so easily

You are my favourite book

And I like to spend my time

I’m fully occupied

Reading between the lines

You’re unputdownable

A plot that’s so unpredictable

That I read on complacently

Well, I’m left in confusion

By your epilogue

Where is the conclusion?

A narrative arc

Well, it’s just been enthralling

The disbelief suspended

On top, standing still

No myth or fairy tale

Will ever be quite the same

No moral to the story

You only go down in a blaze of glory

You’re unputdownable

A fable so fantastical

I’ve learned to read voraciously

And when at last I come to the end

I turn back to page one and again

Pour over every word

Beautiful and absurd

You’re unputdownable

A story so astounding

Could only be the truth you see

Well, I don’t like intrusions

And if I had my way

I’d close the door behind me

And they’d all melt away

I’d open up the book and

Climb right out of this town

If you’d let me

If you’d be so kind

If you’d allow me

To read your mind

If you’d let me

If you’d be so kind

If you’d allow me

To read your mind

To read your mind

To read your mind

To read your mind

To read your mind

To read your mind

To read your mind
