Liner Notes

Another lost first verse...

Lyrics

The story of a ghost
An unlikely host
A barman with a finger missing
Teenagers in the corner kissing

The story of a girl who became a woman
From nervous child to superhuman
The story of a cat and a mischievous dog
Talk to each other in their own dialogue

It’s a story about nothing at all
Something told in the shopping mall
It’s the details I’m dismissing
If you’re inclined to be forgiving

The story of a ghost
An unlikely host
A barman with a finger missing
Teenagers in the corner just kissing

Your performance on this is just terrific. Somehow, you tell this story with a kind of deliberate precision in your voice that feels just a touch ominous to me. I esp. love "barman with a finger missing" and "from nervous child". And I love how all these lines feel like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that will never be completed.

Yet another? How on earth?? Another great tune. Love that chorus with the images that paint familiar scenes of life … cool hook… great guitar riff and movement.
