about

Another two-hour track, at the beach, no less. Been listening to Del Amitri. Had lunch at Ruby’s. Boom. There’s your song!

lyrics

Ruby, can you pass me the wine?
There’s nothing left to hold
If I leave it behind
I’m getting pretty good at the grind
I watch these broken movies
In the back of my mind

Ruby, don’t you wander sometimes?
Wonder at the dollars you could
Get for your dimes?
Never seen you stumble or blink
Sometimes you think of me
Surely drives you to drink

Wise man says you love something,
You oughta set it free
But I’m not sure what freedom
has to do with me

She said “you’ve broken my crown
With all these ups and downs
It’s a seesaw life
And I’m used to being Queen”
Maybe it’s time
To quit this life of petty crime
Get myself a license and drive

Still think we should buy us a boat?
It’s hard to plan ahead
Trying to keep us afloat
Seems like we keep wasting our time
Spending all our present
On a future of crime

Must be better clubs you could join
Starting every day with a
Flip of the coin
But if I’m gonna stay, I’m’a stay
I know I’m just a fool
To find my feet made of clay

Wise man says you love something,
You oughta set it free
But I’m not sure what freedom
has to do with me

She said “you’ve broken my crown
With all these ups and downs
It’s a seesaw life
And I’m used to being Queen”
Maybe it’s time
To quit this life of petty crime
Get myself a license and drive
