Lust (Outstanding Woman)
from Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better, BBC Radio 2, 20-02-07

You're an outstanding woman
You've got intelligence most people couldn't conceive of
You've got multiple degrees
From reputable universities
A first class honours in philosophy
An MBA from UCL
A med degree from MIT

You're an outstanding woman
You swam the English Channel all on your own
You built a school in Sierra Leone
You work at a soup kitchen on Christmas Eve
And they have to ask you to leave

You're an outstanding woman
You're witty and generous and you make people smile
You recently ran a four-minute mile
You make your own clothes; you're an excellent cook
You paint and you're writing a book

You're an outstanding woman
You're thoughtful and you see other folk's point of view
When friends are hurting they always call you
You run a support group for disabled kids
You raise money for researching SIDs

You're an outstanding woman
And I see you standing there on the landing
And I understand you're outstanding
But honestly

Right now I just want to shag
Right now I'm blind to the brilliance of you
I know you're an outstanding woman
But right now your IQ could be 62

I just like the smell of your hair
You could be lazy and talentless for all that I care
Just give me five minutes, or possibly ten
After which time I will value your intellect again

You're an outstanding woman

I'm keen to talk about the American foreign policy
And the inherent hypocrisy in it
Just give me five minutes
