Kids ’round here look just like stickstrade old licks with a beat up sixI just smile and catch the grooveGot the girls all dressed in blackserious as heart attacksTakes a little bit of getting used toThe old man with the whiskey stainslost the night and forgot his nameHis poor wife was sleeping alone againIt ain’t […]
Now that you’re gone, I can see whatWas going on and how you liedWhen you’d said you’d never love again Friends telephone and they sayYou weren’t out alone last nightCan’t you see that this broken heartIs killing me Another night is fallingAnd now my heart is calling you back to me Chorus:Come back cause I […]
On the streets where you live girls talk about their social livesThere made of lipstick, plastic and paintAnd you don’t see it in their eyesAll your life, all you ask "When’s your daddy gonna talk to you?"But you were living in an other worldTryin’ to get a message through No-one heard a single word you […]
You know your favorite pair of shoesThe ones with the hole in the toe you won’t loseYour favorite record that’s all scratched and usedBut still you love to play when your feeling blue That faded rose, that’s all dried outThose Bukowsky poems we couldn’t live withoutYour high school picture, when you had wild hairThat stormy […]
