Nails - Things You Left Behind lyrics

rate me

A pair of stockings, a pair of shoes<br />

A record by The Moody Blues<br />

A bottle of Chanel No. 5<br />

A poster of a band called Dead or Alive<br />

A silk negligee and a black garter belt<br />

A book about how to get to know yourself<br />

A shirt you adopted used to be mine<br />

These are some of the things you left behind<br />

<br />

Paintings painted by a man you knew,<br />

someone you dated in '82<br />

An autographed picture of Junior Wells<br />

I didn't even know you liked soul that well<br />

Three pieces of paper with cryptic notes<br />

Cigarettes you never smoked<br />

A bag of beads and fishing line<br />

These are some of the things you left behind<br />

<br />

A dozen contraceptive sponges<br />

Anyone here got a rhyme for sponges?<br />

Dental floss, some baby powder<br />

Fourteen cans of clam chowder<br />

Forgotten how much you liked that stuff<br />

Sex and clams you couldn't get enough<br />

Your driver's license in '79<br />

These are some of the things you left behind<br />

<br />

A pack of rusty razor blades<br />

You threatened to use those things one day<br />

A nickel bag of Mexican pot<br />

You bought downtown in a parking lot<br />

A wedding band. Where'd that come from?<br />

Forget to tell me about someone?<br />

A bottle of cheap Italian wine<br />

These are some of the things you left behind<br />

<br />

A ticket stub to a Broadway play<br />

A button saying "Make My Day"<br />

A broken mirror with a lipstick smear<br />

A telephone number where the name's unclear<br />

Two pressed roses in a blank paged book<br />

Containing all the notes that you never took<br />

A Valentine card saying "Please Be Mine"<br />

These are some of the things you left behind<br />

<br />

A rosary, some holy cards<br />

A photo of your daddy's Brooklyn bar<br />

A list of possible job interviews<br />

A list I guess you chose not to use<br />

A glacine bag with a printed skull<br />

I didn't know things had gotten that dull<br />

A note on the door, one word, "Goodbye"<br />

These are some of the things you left behind<br />

<br />

A pair of stockings<br />

A garter belt<br />

An autographed picture of Junior Wells<br />

Cigarettes<br />

Dental floss<br />

Clam chowder<br />

A razor blade<br />

Wedding band<br />

Broken mirror with a lipstick smear<br />

A valentine card<br />

A rosary<br />

A glacine bag<br />

Heroin? Oh shit, not heroin<br />

One word, tacked up on my door<br />

One word….<br />

<br />

"Goodbye"
