Misha, thank you so much. This is one of my favourites. My wife and I have been playing it here in Hawaii this afternoon, me on guitar and her on ukelele. Sounds pretty great if I say so! Only thing is, I have been estranged from my copy of "1978-1990" for too long, and I can only remember one of the verses and a line and a half or so. Can anyone help me out? this is what I have from memory: they'll always tell you that nothing is the worst that this hunger that you're feeling should be passed off as thirst then they'll turn and tell you not to leave the hearse that these lilies of the air are just your family curse... | ||

They'll always tell you that nothing is the worst That this hunger that you're feeling Can be passed off as thirst Then they'll turn and tell you not to leave the hearse And these lilies of the air are just your family curse This girl, that girl she counts the hours This girl, black girl she wears flowers The ship comes through the harbour The sails wear the sun The captain nodded slowly and assembled everyone The matron clears her throat to sing The doctor takes a drink Down below the convicts fall Because skeletons don't think This girl, that girl she counts the hours This girl, black girl she wears flowers from the booklet of the Circus/Jetset version of Before Hollywood (anyway a must have) |
