Rules Of The Game Of Quoits Lyrics - Momus

The girl in the rubber shoes has run away from home 

To the gymnasium 

The sun in the blinds is blue and the girl moves through the room 

Like an aquarium 

Rules of the game of quoits 

Use the dimmest light or the brightest light 

When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire 

Rules of the game of quoits 

Use the softest matting or the hardest floor 

When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire 

Tunics may be worn or torn away 

And the rules of the game may be ignored

The boy with the ruddy face has left his place of work 

For the gymnasium 

He enters like a tent where the girl has left her scent 

Like a geranium 

Rules of the game of quoits 

Use the softest matting or the hardest floor 

When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire 

Rules of the game of quoits 

If your posture's right you can thrust the quoit 

When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire 

Tunics may be worn or torn away 

And the rules of the game may be ignored 

The girl in the rubber shoes pins the ruddy-faced boy to the floor 

Of the gymnasium 

She's crawling on the spot, she's the ink-rubber, he's the blot 

And she erases him

Rules of the game of quoits 

Use the dimmest light or the brightest light 

When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire 

Rules of the game of quoits 

Bend your knees and swing through ninety degrees 

When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire 

Tunics may be worn or torn away 

And the rules of the game may be ignored 

"For love will endure or not endure 

Regardless of where we are"
