Jim Carroll Band - Three Sisters

Though I don't really understand her
I love my sister, her name's Miranda
The boys from uptown they can't stand her
The more she denies them the more they demand her
But she just wants to lay in bed all night
Reading Raymond Chandler
She got high heel shoes
She sings the blues
She says abracadabra when she goes down on you
She got a sister and her name is Anita
Anita got one peculiar feature
Every time that they come to meet her
She turns out like a jungle cheetah
She got spiked shoes
She hums the blues
She says razor when she goes down on you
There's another one that makes a trio
Her name is Sally but they call her Cleo
She's a Leo
She got a flat in Soho
She breaks the ceiling
Every time she twirls her mojo
She ain't got no shoes
Never had the blues
She ain't never gonna go down on you
I wish that all the girls were my sister
Then all their dates would call me Mister
You know, sisters are the only ones that talk to me true
Hey, you could be my sister too

The first song I ever heard from the JCB was "It's Too Late"...bought the album the next day. It was a big part of the soundtrack to the most crazy and intense years of my life. How can I so deeply miss that crazy intensity when it so nearly led to suicide? I think Jim would know. It was the kind of stuff he knew about. Rest In Peace Jim...

I remember hearing "People Who Died" for the first time one night.

The next morning, on the way to work, they were playing all Beatles songs on the radio. John Lennon had died.

I remember seeing him in the excellent, under-rated '80's movie Tuff Turf with James Spader and Robert Downey Junior.

Finally Rest in Peace, Jim
