How many girls have you had sex with,
I’ve had sex with five girls, he said
one clear, windless Tuesday night
and passed a joint to his friend.

I’ve had sex with five girls, he said
squatting on a concrete ledge
and passed a joint to his friend.
He was sixteen, from Kentish Town.

Squatting on a concrete ledge
under the park’s amber floodlights
he was sixteen, from Kentish Town.
I think it’s love that counts, I said.

Under the park’s amber floodlights
How many girls have you had sex with?
I think it’s love that counts, I said
one clear, windless Tuesday night.

yeh, I think it's love that counts too, but at sixteen sex was love or close enough to smell no different.
