Lloyd Cole and the Commotions -- Rich

She left you 1958, when the thought of another fifteen years
Was more than she could face, but did you miss her much well hey
You never gave her too much thought in your newspaper grey
So waste away to Morro bay

You never got around to yesterday but money is for taking yes
And rich is what to be forsaken grey and giving it away
And even Jesus has a price
You're making credit card donations to television faith healers
Born again missionaries come to Morro bay

They saved your body but your mind hey and everything you earned
You're going to throw it all away, and waste away tomorrow
Ca is where everybody falls down off the wagon under the wheels

Remember 1970, when the thought of a day without a drink
Was more than you could face, but did you miss her much well hey
You never gave her too much thought in your newspaper grey
So waste away to Morro bay

Saved your body but your mind paid but money is for taking yes
And rich is what to be forsaken, grey and giving it away
You're going to hurt somebody if you can
You're going to make somebody understand
Baby you're a rich man, baby you're a rich man

I came here to listen to this music because of a novel: "Et rester vivant" (Jean-Philippe Blondel). I was born in the 60's and the 80's are my music, but I never heard about Mr. Cole before, shame on me! And thks to Blondel for the fine book and making me discover that piece.

a really good song - and a great album from my student years...unfortunately he looks awfully like jimmy carr and sounds very smug these days. maybe he always did. the arrogance of youth, etc. utlimately, a good indie band who were totally eclipsed in their day by the genius of 'the smiths', 'the fall' and early 'REM'....
