doctors of madness - marie & joe

Marie's telling Joe "He left my breakfast on a mirror
With a blade, but not a word why he's gone."
And Joe rolls his eyes, tries to feel a bit less helpless,
But the late night T.V. movie makes him smile.

He says "You've never been in love
You just read all the books about how it should feel,
& it all seems so awful now he's gone
You ought to be like me, just take what you can
That way you know it's real
It saves all the heartbreak later on."

You see Joe's her best friend,
He makes the time go more slowly,
& the pain seems much sweeter when he's there
Oh, but the boys, the boys in the back room
Are so loud & so thoughtless
They're insensitive, inseparable, insane

They've never been in love
They just read all the books about how it should feel
& it all seems so awful, now it's gone
They ought to be like me, just take what you can
That way you know it's real
It saves all the heartbreak later on.

Oh Marie starts to cry, but she doesn't know the reason
And the baby starts to cry
It's getting late
Yeah, & Joe just wants to give her
Sixty-times-a-minute romance, but instead
Just holds her hand, decides to wait

He says "I've spent so much time in love
I've known suicide scenes & cul-de-sac dreams,
And I broke my heart on a girl who came from France
Love comes only once, they say,
You should hold it close or it slips away
But I really couldnt stand to miss this chance,
No I really couldnt stand to miss this chance.

Oh Marie's telling Joe "He left my breakfast on a mirror
With a blade, but not a word 'bout why he's gone
Oh & I never really thought about the sadder implications
That chase me form the cradle to the grave

You see, I've never been in love
I'd just read all the books about
How it should feel
& its hard to live in minutes instead of years
If I could forget his face, forget this place
& forget the waste
I know I could easily forget the tears
Oh it would be so easy."

I love this song! Too young to see them, as I'm a 60's kid (on collision course with 50) - and you needed to be a 50's (or at least early 60's) kid back then - I was only 11, so I just had to listen to my big brother go on about how brilliant they were live!

Anyway I just linked this track on my 30 day song challenge on facebook as "song I know all the words to". Recently I've been playing this in the car and singing it at the top of my voice! Just love it. Thanks for the post!

[ivanpope]

I saw them in Tunbridge Wells!
