I could hear Andy say
As he hurled his Earl Grey at the door,
"Roll me another joint
'cause I can't see a point anymore.
All the love in my world
Appears to have curled up and died.
Now nobody can know
The hate I feel so: it's inside."
I could hear Andy yell,
"We might all go to hell anytime."
That, "To like to get high
And to love her were my only crimes.
So roll me a spliff
And one for later if there's enough.
For now she is gone
From this moment on it gets tough."
I could hear Andy shout
As he staggered about in the hall,
"I'll cope, I'll get through
I don't need her and you hate them all.
Maybe, it wasn't just her,
Never knew if you were on my side.
All the love in my world
Appears to have curled up and died."
I could hear Andy cry,
"I don't care if I die after this."
Then he calmly explained
That he'd opened his veins at the wrists.
I remember the words -
The last that I heard Andy say
Were, "I'm so sorry bud
'bout the tears and the blood and Earl Grey."
As far as I am aware the recording only ever existed on a minidisc (remember them? My spellcheck doesn't).
Do you have that recording or do I have it somewhere? Those days are all a very hazy, but happy, memory for me.
ReplyDeleteI never had a copy - nothing to play it on! Happy hazy memories for me too.
DeleteHello! I think it's time to make some enquiries...strange things are surfacing...happy times?? perhaps. Too mental to tell....hmmm.xxx
