Nails - Things You Left Behind lyrics
rate meA 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"
