lyrics

Pennies on the pavement for Jim and Wayne and Rose | Tattered flyers beg our help in tracing some of those lost and lonely fractured souls who vanished long ago | Where you find them, sad to say, it's true God only knows | You linger late in cafes, look back on future days when your dreams were like miracles | Now you can only pray | For the laugh you heard last night | For the face that was there the week before | The tears you shed when she walked out the door | You know | She's been there before | You know she's walked out a thousand other doors | You've never needed no-one, no-one's ever needed you | But you've lived the life and played the game, what more can people do | You wake in the early hours | Do you think you'll find her there | She packed her bags late one night | Skipped out without a care | Now you seize on certain gestures | Scraps of sentence overheard | But the memory that stays longest is how she left without a word | Oh the laugh you heard last night | The face you saw the week before | Tthe tears you shed when she walked out that door | You know, she's been there before | You know she's walked out a thousand other doors | Pennies on the pavement, for Jim and Wayne and Rose | For those who know which way the wind blows | Which way the river flows

Render Another Ugly Method
by Mothers

Mothers are the best live band around and this is their best record. Cold and forbidding at first but stick with it and be rewarded. Vanilla Swingers
