... 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.)
GC Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep G Moonlight spills on comic books BmC And superstars in magazines GC An old friend calls and tells us where to meet G Her plane takes off from Baltimore BmC And touches down on Bourbon Street
GC We sit outside and argue all night long G About a god we've never seen BmC But never fails to side with me GC Sunday comes and all the papers say Bm Ma Teresa's joined the mob C And happy with her full time job
G Do do do do doo do GC Am I alive or thoughts that drift away? G Does summer come for everyone? BmC Can humans do as prophets say? GC And if I die before I learn to speak GBm Can money pay for all the days I lived awake C But half asleep?
G Do do do do doo do x 2
GC A life is time, they teach us growing up G The seconds ticking killed us all BmC A million years before the fall GC You ride the waves and don't ask where they go G You swim like lions through the crest BmC And bathe yourself on zebra flesh
G I've been downhearted baby, I've been downhearted baby, BmC Ever since the day we met
(repeat)
As always, this is an interpretation of O'Connor's brilliant song. Corrections, btab, are welcome.
