Giovanni's Song

from Faces by Jane Fallon

/

lyrics

Second hand clothes, from the bins. That's where the second hand love begins,
a little bit worn and a little bit thin.
But second hand clothes are necessary to keep me alive just one more day,
and all I can say is second hand love is okay.
Second hand food, from the bins. That's where the second hand love begins.
I'll never grow fat, I will always stay thin.
But second hand food is necessary to keep me alive just one more day
and all I can say is second hand food is okay.
Life is a mirror of justice.
Look in the glass, can we see our faces?
Life is a mirror of justice, reflecting on us.
Second hand clothes you don't need anymore.
Second hand clothes somebody's already wore.
You give them to me and I take them because they're free.
Second hand food, left over stuff you give away because you have enough.
You give it to me and I take it because it's free.
But the only thing I ever wanted, the only thing I've never had enough of,
the only thing I've ever wanted is first hand love.
And all that I get is a hand out, all that I get is your second hand love
all that I get is a handout of love.
Second hand clothes, from the bins, that's where the second hand love begins.
A little bit worn and a little bit thin-- second hand love.
