William Shatner's Dog -Stephen Fretwell[00:00:00]
I walk by the water and[00:00:29]
Head for your house[00:00:31]
Though I know that you'll be out[00:00:34]
In some dirty city bar[00:00:38]
I stand on your street[00:00:46]
And I stare at your room[00:00:48]
And the shadows play and move[00:00:51]
And your brother comes out with a bat[00:00:55]
Saying that[00:01:01]
You might be with your sister in Paris[00:01:06]
On the Rue Turnau[00:01:11]
Wearing Marline Dietrich glasses[00:01:14]
Where we made that bet[00:01:20]
That bet I knew you'd win for sure[00:01:23]
When you where sick on the floor[00:01:30]
The calico's ripped[00:01:37]
Beneath the patch[00:01:38]
It's an itch I can never scratch[00:01:41]
Now it's so far gone in the past[00:01:45]
The fines I'm[00:01:53]
Having trouble to contest[00:01:54]
With the library book you kept[00:01:58]
The one that sent your head so far west[00:02:02]
Far far away[00:02:09]
In those continental cities[00:02:12]
Where they get in a race[00:02:18]
To see who can build the tallest buildings[00:02:21]
Where you went for some space[00:02:26]
And wound up[00:02:29]
With a slightly redder face[00:02:31]
And a pain in your gut[00:02:37]
I turn on the TV[00:02:45]
And I see there your face[00:02:47]
And in it is not one trace[00:02:50]
Of that old brown bowl of lace[00:02:54]
And that bowl of lace[00:03:02]
Is sat beside the gas bar fire[00:03:05]
Where you probably laid[00:03:10]
Eating ice cream chocolate lollies[00:03:13]
That your mother brought home[00:03:18]
From the freezer store[00:03:21]
On the Old Kent Road[00:03:25]
She too had enough[00:03:29]
And that look on your face[00:03:34]
That you'd throw across the dinner table[00:03:37]
In the middle of grace[00:03:43]
Your fathers eyes closed shut tight[00:03:46]
And it happend like that[00:03:51]
Every damn night[00:03:54]
That I had to come[00:03:58]
To your house[00:04:02]
Well tell Charles O'Keefe[00:04:08]
That I don't want to go to Paris[00:04:11]
It's sunnier here[00:04:16]
And I'm happy in this loveless marriage[00:04:19]
With the girl from the Pru[00:04:25]
And your father and your sister[00:04:28]
And your mother too[00:04:31]
And not forgetting you[00:04:35]
