# ... or, "Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand". It's a very, very simple song, just the bassline, some chords, and maybe a guitar every so often. It's mostly keyboard, however. And the sample is B.B. King going "I been downhearted baby, ever since the day we met." 'Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand' Primitive Radio Gods (O'Connor, Feather, Feather. Contains samples from "How Blue Can You Get" by Feather and Feather.)

^GJan lays down and wrestles in her ^Csleep ^GMoonlight spills on comic books And ^Bmsuperstars in ^Cmagazines An^G old friend calls^C and tells us where to meet ^G Her plane takes off from Baltimore ^Bm And touches do^Cwn on Bourbon Street

We ^Gsit outsid^Ce and argue all night long A^Gbout a god we've never seen But ^Bmnever fails to ^Cside with me ^GSunday comes and ^Call the papers say ^BmMa Teresa's joined the mob ^C And happy with her full time job

^GDo do do do doo do Am ^GI aliv^Ce or thoughts that drift away' Does ^Gsummer come for everyone' Can ^Bmhumans d^Co as prophets say' ^G And if I ^Cdie before I learn to speak ^G Can money pay for all the d^Bmays I lived awake ^C But half asleep'

^GDo do do do doo do x 2 A ^Glife is^C time, they teach us growing up The ^Gseconds ticking killed us all A ^Bmmillion yea^Crs before the fall ^G You ride the wave^Cs and don't ask where they go You ^Gswim like lions through the crest ^Bm And bathe yourse^Clf on zebra flesh

^GI've been downhearted baby, I've been downhearted baby, Ever since t^Bmhe day ^Cwe met

(repeat) As always, this is an interpretation of O'Connor's brilliant song. Corrections, btab, are welcome. -- Josh Ellis gabriel@poboxes.com http://www.loop.com/~pat1/ "If I die before I learn to speak Will money pay for all the days I've lived awake but half-asleep" --Primitive Radio Gods
