lyrics

Yeah, you don’t need to make the vocals sound, like, super-slick or anything. Think, think Plastic Ono Band. Am I rolling yet? OK…

I never passed out under your piano
Honed my tan in your console’s glow
A million ways to subdivide that bar of two

Schedules were not coordinated
Nor sudden whims anticipated
I might have seen your deeper shade of blue
But I was not ready for you

We never were the crime-avenging twins
But maybe heaven knows what we could have been

I’ll file away the lyrics uncompleted
Record over the call I wish I’d heeded
And go on to do what we were meant to do
When I was not ready for you

And I can feel your smile above this din
I know you like it outside, looking in

I’ll file away the lyrics uncompleted
Record over the call I wish I’d heeded
And go on to do what we were meant to do
When I was not ready for you

I have been a huge fan of the great MIKE KENEALLY for many years. He is such a brilliant talent! I’m really really enjoying the latest MFTJ album a great deal. “What Wally Thinks” and “I Remember When Candy Bars Were A Nickel” respectively are a perfect one-two punch to open up an album! I’ll be enjoying this one for a long long time!! Danny Cavazzi
