Ottoman



"Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture
Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall

Elegant clothes you want to be seen with her
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall"

Sitting in school, listening to the start of this song over and over again.
How have I missed this song?

I'll probably be sick of it tomorrow so that's why I am posting it now.
Oh, when Ezra sings "Begging you to sit"...
