What The Butler Saw - Squeeze
Written by：Glenn Tilbrook/Chris Difford
Pacing through the flickering light
A velvet patch upon his eye
His pacing creaks the floorboards loose
As he tailors his thoughts for the
Truth around truths
But his butler keeps eyes through a hole
In the door
What the butler don't see
Ain't a lot that's for sure
Francesca lays across the couch
They fight with words from mouth to mouth
And then with handfuls of her flesh
See how the zipper broke off of her dress
Strangling her neck with his hands
In her gloves
The port and the brandy mix
Cocktails of love
The porchlight
The torchlight
The frosted morning lawn
The cloak of daylight
Has finally been drawn
On the tale of
What the butler saw
He kept his world all to himself
And locked it tight inside his belt
But she preferred his belt undone
She bathed in his fortune but never his fun
He cracked on a mixture of opera and drink
The butler still fetches and carries for him
The butler dragged down to the lake
Francesca's body in a cape
No private eye was gonna trace this
The old man was shaking
His marbles were missed
The shadows and footprints
And flickering lights
The butler's up late with a cold in his eye
The porchlight the torchlight
The frosted morning lawn
The cloak of daylight
Has finally been drawn
On at the tale of
What the butler saw
