| It took me a while to get used to the slow smoky style of this number.
|
| iris tramms first song. |
| its now one of my favorites. |
| iris has a dog,
|
| a german shepherd named meadows, who is an important
|
| Acter in the story. |
| she sings to him about her disillusionment with men,
|
| hence the refrain «thats why I live with my dog."the song hints that
|
| nevertheless falling for norman paperma
|
| Coconut grove iris sang to an amazingly lifelike puppet dog, whitch all but
|
| upstaged her, and won the audience affection all though the evening.
|
| Shelia says the heart is just a muscle
|
| Shelia says the heart is cooled by time
|
| Hiding out for years down in these trade winds
|
| In the land of coconuts and limes
|
| Ive played this game for too long
|
| My lifes just one same old song
|
| Now marooned for a time on this island
|
| I go into and out of the fog
|
| And thats why I live with my dog
|
| Instrumental bridge
|
| Men oh, men oh, oh men Ive known to many
|
| Deceivers cloaked in clumsy vanity
|
| What men lack in love and understanding
|
| They make up in stupidity
|
| But now and then one comes along
|
| And lights up my world like a song
|
| I am tempted to unleash my interest
|
| Yet I put it to you mans best friend
|
| Theres just one sad old way it can end
|
| Bridge:
|
| We have our faults
|
| But men have only two
|
| All that they say
|
| All that they do Youre a joy and a friend and a guardian
|
| Never bored with my sad monologue
|
| Youre better off with a dog
