[Verse]
You listen to what clever people say
They say you'll have something to take away
But on second glance, they'll make you laugh, make you angry
See, they don't have a clue what I'll be taking away
Probably two and three-quarter years of misery
And a fear of the past, a disdain for flat caps
I heard about you in the golf club
Heard about you in the golf club
And the ceiling, and the ceiling
And the old star, and the backyard
And the feeling
You always said you gotta do some stuff
Head into town, lay it down, down on me
Tough love, tough love
Impossibly early, better bе Monday
Counting copper coins in a cold blue cup
As if thesе things are easy to make up
[Chorus]
And I spent some time on an island
The Mediterranean Sea brought to hand for me
And I swear I saw your face there in the mountainside
[Verse]
You know Joni Mitchell's 68 - 71
Slept in a cave on a rock in the sun
But I don't have the time, or the company
See I left all the people I like the most behind
They moved to the bigger city and it's about time
I follow in line, high-rise, good for the mind
But even when I'm kicking back on the back of the three
Sitting on a doorstep takes a lot out of me
And obviously not falling asleep, but plummeting
By the light of an old star
In a backyard, with a feeling
You listen to what clever people say
They say you'll have something to take away
But on second glance, they'll make you laugh, make you angry
See, they don't have a clue what I'll be taking away
Probably two and three-quarter years of misery
And a fear of the past, a disdain for flat caps
I heard about you in the golf club
Heard about you in the golf club
And the ceiling, and the ceiling
And the old star, and the backyard
And the feeling
You always said you gotta do some stuff
Head into town, lay it down, down on me
Tough love, tough love
Impossibly early, better bе Monday
Counting copper coins in a cold blue cup
As if thesе things are easy to make up
[Chorus]
And I spent some time on an island
The Mediterranean Sea brought to hand for me
And I swear I saw your face there in the mountainside
