Grievances Revisited
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I had my own way
You'd be with me here today
But I rarely have my own way
I guess that's why you're not here with me today
And the librarian said
You can't buy no respect
I said hey lady what can you expect
When I'm lying on the floor
You're a lovely lady but you don't wanna be
No girl of mine
Well the only thing you ever done for me
Was help me, help me, waste my time
And I saw you at the funeral
You were standing there like a temple
I said hi, how are you, hello
And I pulled up a casket and crawled in
And I pulled up a casket and crawled in
And I pulled up a casket and crawled in
And I pulled up a casket and crawled in...
And I pulled up a casket and crawled in...
