Chase
As performed by Nathan Avebury at the George and Dragon
York, April 2016
I know I'm supposed to like the thrill of the chase, but - personally -
I like it when the chase is over.
I like the bit where no one has to go and get croissants for breakfast, or pretend they always have them in the fridge, and we just have toast, or Weetabix.
I like unmatching underwear, and fuzzy armpits.
I like being able to wear my old Hootie and The Blowfish T-shirt with reasonable confidence that no one is going to call a cab for me.
I like the things that say: relax. We have arrived somewhere where we can both rest.
Don't get me wrong: I like a bit of tension, a bit of fizz. I might not enjoy the chaise longue but that doesn't make me ready for the rocking chair.
But I'll be relieved when you've seen my weird-shaped toes and that potential deal-breaker is done with.
So maybe we could skip the chase, and relax?
