Talking Heads - Fear of Music - 04 - Cities
...Did I forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis?
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks What do I smell? I smell home cooking It's only the river, it's only the river. I'm checkin'em out I'm checkin'em out I got it figured out I got it figured out There's good points and bad points Find a city Find myself a city to live in. |

Who else but Chuck Berry....
Memphis Tennessee Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call 'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge Help me, information, more than that I cannot add Only that I miss her and all the fun we had But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye Marie is only six years old, information please Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

"This is an old Memphis tune" Bob Seger exclaims, as he starts the song "Trying to live my life without you babe"
I used to smoke 5 packs of ciggarettes a day It was the hardest thing to put them away I drank four, five bottles of wine I kept glass in my hand all the time Breaking those habits was hard to do But nothing compared to the changes, that you put me through Tryin’ to live my life without you babe Is the hardest thing I’ll ever do Try forget the love we once shared It’s the hardest burden I’ll ever bear I had the worst reputation in town For chasing all the women around I thought changing my way of living was hard to do But it’s nothing compared to the changes, that you put me through |
