about

This is absolutely not a real song, and we played it only in concerts. Based on two good friends. One of them called me once from LA to tell me he's having sex again with a girl who doesn't like Bob Dylan. I though it was an excellent line for a song. Then, the rest of it, is the poetic protocol of the panic attack in the head of another friend, the night before his wedding day. It's been more than 10 years now, and the guy has just gotten divorced. We're still good friends with the two guys. Now, rehearsing this song is totally going against its spirit. SO we had a few florky versions, but I had to chose one. The live shows are better, as the audience joins in the end, woo-wing out loud as I name names...:)

lyrics

The night before his wedding day he went to see his best old friend,
and held his own head in his hand.
Oh me, oh my, he paced the room,
he poured himself a glass of rum and ice
and turned to face his tired friend ( eyes).
Why can't we take the train, he strained his brain,
tonight, right now, and sneak away
up high, and far above those April skies.

Here I am, having sex again
with a girl who doesn’t like Bob Dylan.

And don’t you think, it really seems
like you and I were always on the swing of things,
the coolest babes, the stars, the ecstasy, oh please, oh please,
why don't you come along with me.
And as he turns to leave again,
he grabs his best friend’s tender hands,
I don’t know what came over me.
I have to go, my bride awaits,
all in white imperial party dress.

Here I am, having sex again
with a girl who doesn’t like Bob Dylan...Elliot Smith...Ryan Adams...James Brown....Amy Mann...Ray Lamontagne...Marvin Gaye...Bright Eyes....Shlomi Shabban...Me.
But at least I'm having sex again. And it's good.

:)
