i don’t think i could have possibly made this more complicated. i’m never doing this again.
soda shop
music and lyrics by jay brannan
the sidewalk is rushing at my head again
i’m lying on the street in the rain and wind
from doing forward rolls down avenue A
with my guitar on my back, don’t let it end this way
somehow i dialed my cell
i didn’t know i could get service in hell
how quickly can you get here, don’t know where i am dear
finally the world actually seems to be revolving around me
chorus
shoo-be-doo-be-doo-wop
i overdid it at the soda shop
thanks for being my girl at the
i-don’t-know-when-to-stop sock hop
you held my head over the edge of the bed
i remember it now, but at the time i thought i was dead
you put a pan there, and held back my hair
how can i repay you for saving me and my hardwood floor?
chorus
and when the world stopped spinning ’round
i picked the pan up off the ground
i read my upheaves, much like tea leaves
they said it’s over, so get sober, or you’ll die again
chorus

Thanks for sharing …
Thanks for sharing this, Jay. We were at your show in Shepherd’s Bush (London) last night and what a wonderful evening it was. Lovely songwriting, beautiful voice, and GREAT guitar playing!! I bought a CD and a t-shirt so I hope you got enough from that for the cab fare home.
Hurry back to London – we love you and your music. Say hi to Ms B as well – she rocked too.
Take care and enjoy the rest of your tour – hope it goes well. All the best from John & Neil in London xx
