A Song About An Asperger Relationship?

Post Reply New Topic

I suspect that most of the WP readers will be too young to have heard this song, it's from a movie called 'Breaking Glass' and it was sung by Hazel O'Connor in about 1981. Is it about an Asperger relationship? You decide.

You drink your coffee and I sip my tea
And we're sitting here playing so cool, thinking "What will be, will be"
But it's getting kind of late now
Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

I move a little closer to you, not knowing quite what to do
And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs, I spill my tea, oh silly me!
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

And then we touch much too much
This moment has been waiting for a long long time
Makes me shiver, it makes me quiver
This moment I'm so unsure
This moment I've waited for
Is it something you've been waiting for, waiting for too?

Take off your eyes, bare your soul
Gather me to you and make me whole
Tell me your secrets, sing me the song
Sing it to me in the silent tongue
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

There then follows one of the finest saxaphone solos I have ever heard, which is why the record is in my collection.

I love that song

That does sound kind of like an aspie relationship.
