“letter to paul” (lyrics)

PART 1: 

(to coincide with sinatra’s “it was a very good year”) 

V1: 

’til they walked in town again
didn’t we almost have it all?

‘father freddy’ cut the grass…
tried to give that job to paul…

(…didn’t we almost have it all?…)

V2: 

little eddie never left…
little eddie mows the lawn…

‘father freddy’ cuts the grass…
paulie’s stifling a yawn…

“THIS was ‘freddy’s firstborn son’?)
(just imagine an alternate reality with a ‘malchow sister’)

“LOOKING FOR LARNICK” 

pound for pound…

pound for pound…

in ‘vienna’…

ring ring…

ring ring…

but larnick wouldn’t sing…

“DISNEY WORLD (REPRISE)” 

moving out to another town…

i’ll face another round…

i’ll face another round…

i’ll face another round alone…

i’ll face another round alone…

PART 2: 

V1: 

remember when we was 15?
man you wanted (to be) me…
baby making a hobby of copying me…

V2: 

though it’s too late now…
(strike 3!)
(you overgrown fairy)

V4: 

trying your best to get this film off your chest…
(“this is ‘art’ not “therapy”…!)

V5: 

and i’ll keep right on writing with my ‘plate’s’ remaining full…

(man you couldn’t even finish a bowl…of cereal…)

PART 3: 

o tin-eared TC…

takes two tits to know…

and they famously flopped on the ‘ferguson show’…
(“gave it her best shot!”)
(“…but i think not!”)

stick her in the same cell as ‘pellagatti’…

nail ’em to the ‘crucifix’ immediately…

just your normal spoiled bitch…

(i knew her back when i was rich…)

OUTRO: 

none of ’em thought that you’d make it this far…

(“…but like it or not here you are…”)

don’t ever give in to the whispers you hear…

(“…but silently lend them your ear…”)
