Sticky Fingers Suite
Words & Music © Jeff Mellin/Sweet Red Onion Publishing, BMI on the table Gas, electric, phone and cable Can’t remember which ones are paid... … Remember when we used to sway in the breeze
like a plastic bag caught in a tree?
And we would brag that
the light from the moon
cast a shadow that
seemed
like we were filmed in
a black and white scene
Overacted
Overplayed
Overdressed for New
Year’s day?
Watch the children Watch the dietIf the shoe fits you
should buy it Buy me shoes for feet
of clay… … Remember when we used to
sway
in the breeze
like a plastic bag caught in a tree?
And with our flags
unfurled
you could be the girl and I could be me:
The perfect guest
Less depressed
Not second-guessing
every word I say?
I still love you and
the children
even more now than I
did then
Maybe enough for me to
stay…
… Remember when we used to
sway
in the breeze
like a plastic bag caught in a tree?
And when the gag got
old
you’d roll your
eyes – I’d know what you mean
like a bowling-ball dropped on a bean
Set and match
Perfect catch
Well, a good enough
catch for the day?
Remember when we used to sway?
