Cover art for Swans lyrics by Camera Obscura

i thought "and a boat that might sell" yeah no idea on the 'never quite'

My probably quite idiosyncratic idea of what the first two verses might be:

There's flowers in my house And I bought them myself No surprises in the record collection You must have thought I was someone else

I'm still afraid to get lost In a city I might explore But I'm not afraid to have an Eloquent boy at my door at my door at my door at my door
