I Wanna Be Yours - John Cooper Clarke

[Nemo]

I was thinking back on poems that I've read in the past and I remembered this one I Wanna By Yours by John Cooper Clarke. I remember it being symbolic to me making me think... this is a kind of love that I've never had, the kind of love that I seek, and the kind of love I'd gladly give to 'that' right person... I read this some 22 years ago for the first time, and I'm still looking...

I wanna be yours
let me be your vacuum cleaner
breathing in your dust
let me be your ford cortina
I will never rust
if you like your coffee hot
let me be your coffee pot
you call the shots
I wanna be yours

Let me be your raincoat
for those frequent rainy days
let me be your dreamboat
when you wanna sail away
let me be your teddy bear
take me with you anywhere
I don’t care i wanna be yours

let me be your electric meter
I will not run out
let me be the electric heater
you get cold without
let me be your setting lotion
hold your hair with deep devotion
deep as the deep
atlantic ocean
that’s how deep is my emotion
deep deep deep deep de deep deep
I don’t wanna be hers
I wanna be yours

- John Cooper Clarke
