3. What Is Love?
(Heikkilä-McGowan)

Ah - here's the fiddle! One track too late - but Ilona does a mean Stefan Grappelly impersonation on this throwaway, jazzy little number. Tuomas is playing piano - so I think this must have been a Mescaline Smugglers out take from a year or two ago. --Davy

"What is Love?" I asked of you,
And you replied, "A shade of blue,
A shade of blue with hints of grey,
A seaside town on a rainy day,
An endless cave that's underground,
A darkened room without a sound."
"But I have heard that Love is kind."
"Not so," said you, "for love is blind,
And being blind it never sees,
It only brings you to your knees.
Love is the cause of Life's regret,
It causes Life to weep and fret.
There is no cure for Love's disease,
It's coy smiles seek to hound and tease."
"I'll never let love make me ill!"
You smiled a smile and said, "You will."
