Lyrics No More Reruns - Jerry Harrison

No More Reruns

I’m watching TV a Saturday night
What do I see
But a middleweight boxing fight
A right spar here, a left hook there
Two in one combination
A standard fare
One fighter he tries the Ali shuffle
Guess I’ll change the channel
'Cause it’s just another scuffle
It reminds me of me and you
It reminds me of what we used to do
TV rerun watching James Dean
Red jacket on, he looks like Martin Sheen
I keep on thinking 'bout Natalie Wood
She sure was looking awfully good
That rebel may have looked so cool
Heart’s aflutter, but don’t be fooled
'Cause in the end he still lost his fight
Tough luck, sonny, life’s not nice
It reminds me of me and you
It reminds me of what we used to do
It reminds me of high school
Reminds me of five years of doing nothing
Reminds me of five years without loving
Yeah
I didn’t blame anyone
For what happened to me
Full responsibility, you see
If I came up, I went down
I was fooled and I fooled around
You are the one that I’m after
And you are the one, no disaster
And you are the one I desire
And you are the one that I require
Tonight, oh honey, tonight
That’s right, honey, tonight
No more reruns
Just a static on my channel
Test pattern light
Lights my room like a candle
A time between the days
Slips in like a vandal
If I blink or tire
I’ll miss life’s gamble
That’s the time that I remember you
And that’s the time that I think of you
And that’s the time
I remember what we used to do
And that’s the time I think of you
But tonight you are the one I’m after
You are the one, no more disasters
You are the one I desire
And you are the one I require
Tonight, oh honey, tonight
That’s right, tonight, baby, tonight
You are the one that I’m after
And you are the one, no more disasters
You are the one I desire
And you are the one that I require
Tonight, oh honey, tonight
Oh honey, that’s right
Tonight, baby, that’s right…
