Gas
Matisse feat. Dimitra Galani Lyrics

She hangs about her garden
She spends time in her garden, not in a rush to leave.

She's chatting with the flies
She talks to the flies around her.

Avidly reads the classics
She reads the classics with great interest and enthusiasm.

She never ever sighs
She doesn't sigh, indicating contentment with her life.

A cigarette is always
She always has a cigarette with her.

Extension of her time
Smoking a cigarette helps her relax and take time for herself.

Gives her a new lease of life
Smoking a cigarette energizes her and helps her find inspiration.

To find the perfect rhyme
She uses the energy from smoking a cigarette to help her find the perfect words to use in her writing.

She now enters the bedroom
She goes into her bedroom.

Unmakes the bed, lies down
She undoes the bed and lays in it.

Studies Sylvia Sexton
She studies poetry by Sylvia Plath.

And tightens her night gown
She pulls her nightgown tight around her as she prepares to sleep.

There is a curse around her
She feels like something is holding her back or causing her problems.

She explains to her gas fire
She talks to her gas fireplace about the curse affecting her.

That feminist production
The feminist movement didn't have a positive effect on her.

Was not to take her higher
She didn't feel that feminism was helpful in her personal growth.

Μη μου μιλάς για αγάπη
Don't talk to me about love.

The gas stove in the kitchen
The gas stove in her kitchen.

Warms up her lettered past
Her past experiences and written works are brought to mind and remembered warmly.

Of fantasies
She remembers past fantasies.

Of lovers
She thinks about past lovers.

That rose and baked fast
These past relationships were short-lived and ended quickly.
