Saskia Hamilton Lyrics - Lonely Avenue - Ben Folds

I've only ever seen her name on a spine 

But that's enough, I want to make her mine 

Never heard her voice, never seen her smile 

But I'm in love with Saskia Hamilton. 

Well she's a poet, just like I want to be 

But her passport alone is great poetry 

And I'm in love with Saskia Hamilton. 

She got more assonance than she knows what to do with 

I'm in love with Saskia Hamilton 

She got two sibilants, no bilabial plosives 

Saskia Hamilton, Saskia Hamilton. Yeah! Right! 

Saskia Hamilton, Saskia Hamilton. 

Saskia, Saskia, Saskia 

Already got a girl but she sounds real bad 

I'm in love with Saskia Hamilton 

She got alliteration and her surname is Dagg 

Saskia Hamilton 

No hard consonants in my girl Saskia 

Every single syllable sounds like Shakespeare 

I'm in love with Saskia 

Gonna live with her and it'll all be harmonious 

How could it not be, when she's that euphonious? 

Gonna marry her and it'll be idyllic 

And my teacher just told me that she's dactylic! 

Saskia Hamilton, Saskia Hamilton. Yeah! Right! 

Saskia Hamilton, Saskia Hamilton. 

Saskia, Saskia, Saskia
