From the album Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) (1978)

Lyrics:
Harry Irene were a couple that lived in the green
Harry Irene were a couple that ran a canteen
Ran a canteen
Ran a canteen
Two people Harry and Irene like you never seen
The floor was made of oak, the door was smokey gray
Their tuna sandwiches would turn the dark into day
They sold wine like turpentine to painters
They took to social life like props to aviators
Harry Irene were a couple that ran a canteen
Harry Irene were a couple that lived in the green
Ran a canteen
Ran a canteen took Harry for all of his green and Irene
Harry was left holding an empty canteen
And by the way folks, it was Dusty not Harry
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
What's the meaning of this?
Poor Harry, I guess

  • This GREAT little ditty sealed a special bond between my older brother Luca, and I on one magical Taxi drive from Iguazu Falls to Posadas in Argentina in 1982. Imagine red, dusty roads surrounded by Amazonian-like vegetation... and this playing on a cassette in the Stereo. The Argentinean driver was really digging it too! Thanx for it all, Captain!

  • he could write such original songs , going to miss him , but what a legacy.
