lyrics

If Only I'd Know Further
(paroles et musique: Joel Desmarais-Racine)

Once you got into framing
Your mind might be full of things
Be a slut or be a star?
What's my purpose if I sell cars?
A pool of wine is what I want
But playing blues I'll just get(the)pond
Maybe someday there will be a light
Instead of posers in my sight

Chorus:
Let the past be the past
And help him make it last
If only I'd know further
I'd be through

You call yourself a roots lover
You even did a Dylan's cover
You modernized a good ol' track
Into a crappy one of your rack
I'll climb the counter and piss in the sink
Just to get there I'll jump in the ring
Maybe someday there will a sign
But I'll have to leave it all behind

Chorus

Crack a window I'm needing air
For the record I'm staying square
I'll be able to sing my songs
With whiskey drowning all my lungs
My backup band must know the blues
And all the chances that we might lose
If we don't write for teenage girls
A Simple Plan to rule their world

Septembre 2008
