| Nice to meet you, boy, I know your mama knows
|
| I fell in love with her seven-thousand summers ago
|
| I was a runner kid, a too-much, too-heartily kid
|
| Your mama helped me out
|
| And now I’m here to pay the due back, Joe
|
| Nice to meet you, boy, I knew your mama’s song
|
| I knew how she would move along to every rhythm
|
| I know she’ll best for you, she wants to get the rest of you
|
| They’re here to take care of you
|
| Whatever you need to come home through
|
| Sad, juiced up, loose cannon fodder
|
| We used to be happily savagery
|
| Fell rapidly into love telepathy
|
| I must admit, before I slipped, your mother knew the best of me
|
| Mad, clued up, we were not lovers
|
| Band of brother, sister, Easy Company
|
| Didn’t tell me she was sick until she wrote to me
|
| Then out of the blue, the years we knew
|
| They all come flooding back to me
|
| Magnolia melancholic love
|
| Magnolia melancholia
|
| Magnolia melancholic love
|
| Magnolia melancholia
|
| Like how she smiled and how I cried and how I finally fell
|
| Like how I lied and how we died inside the Chelsea hotel
|
| Like when she told me I had never had a broken heart
|
| Well, I was mad, I said a couple of things I shouldn’t have
|
| We didn’t talk for years, it’s clear to me I was ostracised
|
| She threw me out her heart, her head
|
| Her soul, her whole damn life
|
| Sitting on the other side of London, penance for shit
|
| I guess this all just hurt too much for her to deal with it
|
| Nice to meet you, boy, I know your mama knows
|
| I fell in love with her seven-thousand summers ago
|
| I was a runner kid, a too-much, too-heartily kid
|
| Your mama helped me out
|
| And now I’m here to pay the due back, Joe
|
| Nice to meet you, boy, I knew your mama’s song
|
| I knew how she would move along to every rhythm
|
| I know she’ll best for you, she wants to get the rest of you
|
| They’re here to take care of you
|
| Whatever you need to come home through
|
| This is just a story I tell
|
| She’s alive and well
|
| Somewhere in the city swell
|
| I guess I just miss my friend
|
| As for the broken heart
|
| It breaks every time I start
|
| I guess I just miss my friend
|
| As for the broken heart
|
| It breaks every time I start
|
| I guess I just miss my friend
|
| As for the broken heart
|
| It breaks every time I start |
