Song in Contravention

Lyrics

Song giving descriptions of an unnamed act of love
 The court will call this song Exhibit A
 Song including details of the persons taking part
 And the actual words these persons say
 Song in contravention of sections of the law
 Members of the jury take your time
 Remember even listening if only this far in
 Already makes you guilty of a crime
 This love in contravention
 They see fit to ban
 That woman feels for woman, man for man
 This love outside the law is the strongest love of all
 Pass it on (pass it on)
 To sing this song is a crime of love
 Sing this song (sing this song)
 Song giving descriptions of an unnamed act of love
 Outlawed by the government this year
 A song giving descriptions of forbidden forms of love
 Is passing at this moment through your ear
 Song in contravention of sections of the law
 That deal with making public private thoughts
 With lyrics so explicit and descriptions so perverse
 They constitute the crime that it reports
 This love in contravention
 They see fit to ban
 That woman feels for woman, man for man
 This love outside the law is the strongest love of all
 Pass it on (pass it on)
 To sing this song is a crime of love
 Sing this song (sing this song)
 In the perfumed garden the apprentice sits alone
 Like a Persian miniature in stone
 The jury and the witnesses are kneeling at the throne
 Waiting for the judgement to come down
 Song giving descriptions of an unnamed act of love
 An act of love is taking place
 Sung with your consent, the song has reached its very end
 The prosecution rests its case
 (The prosecution rests its case)
